Growth hormone (GH)‐transgenic insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF1)‐deficient mice allow dissociation of excess GH and IGF1 effects on glomerular and tubular growth

Growth hormone (GH)‐transgenic mice with permanently elevated systemic levels of GH and insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF1) reproducibly develop renal and glomerular hypertrophy and subsequent progressive glomerulosclerosis, finally leading to terminal renal failure. To dissociate IGF1‐dependent and...
