homeostasis/metabolism
• serum IGF-1 levels are 34% of wild-type

endocrine/exocrine glands
• at 8, 12 and 24 weeks of age, mammary duct outgrowth is reduced compared to in wild-type mice
• however, proliferation and apoptosis are normal throughout development, pregnancy and involution and treatment with hormones or by cross mice to Tg(TTR-Igf1)1Jxu mice rescues outgrowth
• wild type mammary tissue transplanted into mice exhibits reduced outgrowth
• serial transplants of mammary epithelium exhibit decreased transplant capabilities compared to wild-type epithelium
