Abstract

Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) has metabolic effects throughout the body, and its expression is regulated in part by insulin. High circulating IGFBP-1 concentrations are inversely correlated with cardiometabolic diseases. With this study, we identified increases in IGFBP-1 concentrations after exercise training may be one mechanism by which exercise reduces risk for cardiometabolic diseases in older adults.
