ABSTRACT:
Methods are provided for treating or alleviating the symptoms of subjects with psychological disorders, metabolic disorders, chronic stress-related disorders, sleep disorders, conditions associated with sexual senescence, aging, or premature aging by treating such subjects with IGF or mutant IGF either alone or complexed with IGFBP-3. Methods for increasing the levels of DHEA or DHEAS and treating or alleviating the symptoms of subjects with disorders characterized by low levels of DHEA or DHEAS by administering effective amounts of IGF or mutant IGF alone or complexed with IGFBP-3 are also provided. Methods for increasing the level of T4 and treating or alleviating the symptoms of subjects with disorders characterized by low levels of T3 or T4 by administering effective amounts of IGF or mutant IGF alone or complexed with IGFBP-3 are additionally provided.
