Unite de Diabetologie et Nutrition, Universite Catholique de Louvain, B 1200 Brussels, Belgium
Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 283:E1279-90. 2002..Taken together, our data suggest that TNF-alpha induced in muscle after LPS injection can locally inhibit IGF-I expression. The inhibition of muscle IGF-I production could contribute to the catabolic effect of TNF-alpha...
Impairment of liver GH receptor signaling by fastingVáronique Beauloye
Unite de Diabetologie et Nutrition, Universite Catholique de Louvain, B 1200 Brussels, Belgium
Endocrinology 143:792-800. 2002..In conclusion, the GH resistance induced by fasting is associated with impairment of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. This might contribute to the decrease in liver IGF-I production observed in fasting...
Urocortin-induced cardiomyocytes hypertrophy is associated with regulation of the GSK-3β pathwayDamien Gruson

Pôle de recherche en Endocrinologie, diabète et nutrition, Institut de Recherche Expérimentale et Clinique, Cliniques Universitaires St Luc and Université Catholique de Louvain, Brussels, Belgium
Peptides 33:351-3. 2012..This effect was associated with a twofold increase of Mstn gene expression. We have established for the first time that the two hypertrophic peptides UII and UCN stimulate the expression of Mstn...
Creatine increases IGF-I and myogenic regulatory factor mRNA in C(2)C(12) cellsMagali Louis
Département d Education Physique et de Réadaptation, Universite Catholique de Louvain, Place Pierre de Coubertin 1, B 1348 Louvain la Neuve, Belgium
FEBS Lett 557:243-7. 2004..Our results suggest therefore that creatine-induced hypertrophy of C(2)C(12) cells is at least partially mediated by overexpression of IGF-I and MRFs...
Follistatin induces muscle hypertrophy through satellite cell proliferation and inhibition of both myostatin and activinHélène Gilson
Unite de Diabetologie et Nutrition, Universite Catholique de Louvain, 54 Ave Hippocrate, B 1200, Brussels, Belgium
Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 297:E157-64. 2009..In conclusion, our results show that satellite cell proliferation and both Mstn and Act inhibition are involved in the FS-induced muscle hypertrophy...
Interleukin-6 stimulates hepatic insulin-like growth factor binding protein-4 messenger ribonucleic acid and proteinL Fernández-Celemín
Unite de Diabetologie et Nutrition, Universite Catholique de Louvain, 54 B 1200 Brussels, Belgium
Endocrinology 142:241-8. 2001..05). In conclusion, our results show that IL-6 stimulates hepatic IGFBP-4 gene expression and production in vitro and in vivo, thereby suggesting another mechanism by which cytokines could control IGF-I action...
