We therefore studied the changes in the circulating components of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system during high dose sex steroid therapy.<\/jats:p>\n      <jats:p><jats:italic>Design and methods<\/jats:italic>: Twenty three girls and twenty boys with constitutional tall stature were treated with 100 \u03bcg ethinylestradiol per day or 250 mg testosterone ester every 14 days respectively. In 19 girls and 18 boys, the levels of IGF-I, free IGF-I, IGF-II, acid-labile subunit (ALS) and IGF binding proteins (IGFBP)-2 to -6 were measured before and 3\u20136 months after the start of therapy (group 1). In 18 girls and 11 boys, samples were collected at the end of therapy and 3 to 6 months afterwards (group 2). Fourteen girls and nine boys belonged to both groups. All parameters were measured by radioimmunoassay or ELISA.<\/jats:p>\n      <jats:p><jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>: Levels of IGF-I were decreased significantly by estrogen treatment but remained unchanged during testosterone treatment. Free IGF-I decreased during estrogen treatment but increased during testosterone therapy. Estrogens increased IGF-II and testosterone reduced it. The important reduction of IGFBP-2 during estrogen therapy is not reproduced by androgen therapy, neither is the stimulation by estrogens of IGFBP-4. IGFBP-3 is not modulated by either sex steroid. We found that IGFBP-6 is up-regulated by testosterone but not by estrogens; the reverse is true for ALS, which increased during estrogen treatment but remained unchanged during testosterone treatment.<\/jats:p>\n      <jats:p><jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>: Our findings demonstrate that androgens and estrogens exert differential effects on the circulating levels of several IGF components.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1530\/eje.1.01880","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,4,7]],"date-time":"2005-04-07T23:04:13Z","timestamp":1112915053000},"page":"597-604","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1530\/crossmarkpolicy-1","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Ethinylestradiol and testosterone have divergent effects on circulating IGF system components in adolescents with constitutional tall stature"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"152","author":[{"given":"Raoul P A","family":"Rooman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lieve Op","family":"De Beeck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Manou","family":"Martin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jaap","family":"van Doorn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Subburaman","family":"Mohan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marc V L","family":"Du Caju","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"1_6207380","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"540","DOI":"10.1210\/er.19.5.540","volume":"19","author":"Drop","year":"1998","journal-title":"Endocrine Reviews","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0163-769X","issn-type":"print"},{"issue":"1","key":"2_15883784","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"3","DOI":"10.1210\/edrv-16-1-3","volume":"16","author":"JONES","year":"1995","journal-title":"Endocrine Reviews","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0163-769X","issn-type":"print"},{"key":"3_25783207","first-page":"801","volume":"18","year":"1995","journal-title":"Endocrine Reviews","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0163-769X","issn-type":"print"},{"issue":"6","key":"5_17078556","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"823","DOI":"10.1530\/eje.0.1460823","volume":"146","author":"Rooman","year":"2002","journal-title":"European Journal of Endocrinology","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0804-4643","issn-type":"print"},{"issue":"1","key":"6_15971273","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"17","DOI":"10.1136\/adc.73.1.17","volume":"73","author":"Freeman","year":"1995","journal-title":"Archives of Disease in Childhood","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0003-9888","issn-type":"print"},{"issue":"4","key":"7_8209881","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"781","DOI":"10.1210\/jcem-51-4-781","volume":"51","author":"DAUGHADAY","year":"1980","journal-title":"Journal of Clinical Endocrinology &amp;
