We previously demonstrated that exercise with an iso-caloric diet significantly reduced body weight and skin carcinogenesis in correspondence with lower plasma IGF-1 levels and IGF-1-dependent phospholipid signaling. This study was thus designed to test the hypothesis that IGF-1 reduction plays a causal role in exercise-induced phospholipid changes. SENCAR mice were randomly assigned to one of the following three groups for 12 weeks: ad libitum-fed sedentary control, exercise but pair-fed the amount of the control (PE), and PE with IGF-1 injection (PE+IGF-1). Treadmill exercise was conducted at 13.4 m/min for 90 min/d, 5 d/week. In the last two weeks IGF1 was i.p. injected (10 μg/g B.W.) twice per week. Both body weight and plasma IGF-1 levels were significantly reduced in PE mice when compared with the control. IGF-1 injection did not affect body weight, or the plasma levels of IG.. View More»
