- A study found that a 1-week infusion of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) significantly boosts bile flow and bile acid secretion in rats, indicating its role in promoting choleresis.
- The current research compared the effects of a single dose of IGF-I to the choleretic drugs prednisolone and ursodeoxycholic acid, revealing that IGF-I and prednisolone both produced a substantial and lasting increase in bile flow, while ursodeoxycholic acid only provided a temporary boost.
- Additionally, the combination of IGF-I with either prednisolone or ursodeoxycholic acid resulted in an additive effect on bile flow, showcasing IGF-I's potential as a therapeutic option for
