Re: RESEARCH: Insulin-Like Growth Factors

[Guest guest]

Hi Jerry,

My search was for IGF and ataxia but there are more published articles there

from Dr. Lee.

Go to: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez

Type in:

Lee WH IGF

Press Go.

I first heard about IGF in 1998 ... the study done over in Spain. The

National Ataxia Foundation funded Dr. WH Lee in 1999. I don't know if they

continue to do so but I can ask around.

Take care,

Pam
