Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) promotes cell cycle progression and inhibition of apoptosis and may have a role in carcinogenesis and cancer promotion. Growth hormone (GH) stimulates IGF1 production in liver and other tissues. The aim of our study was to evaluate differences between healthy subjects and patients with lung cancer in the GH-IGF1 axis function. In 11 healthy male patients (mean age ± standard error [SE], 43.6 ± 1.7), and 9 male patients with nonsmall-cell lung cancer (mean age ± SE, 51.0 ± 2.4), GH, total IGF1, melatonin, and interleukin (IL)-2 serum levels were measured in blood samples collected every 4 hours for 24 hours. A clear circadian rhythm was present for melatonin and GH serum levels in the group of healthy subjects and for melatonin in the group of patients with cancer. The midline estimating statistic of rhythm (MESOR) of GH was higher in patients with lung cancer (P
