Mid-lactation Holstein cows (n = 4) were used to evaluate the effects of complete feed deprivation on circulating insulin-like growth factors (IGF) and their binding proteins (IGFBP). Comparisons were made between cows in fed and unfed conditions and included response to a single injection of bovine somatotropin (bST). Two days of feed deprivation decreased milk yield 66%. Concentrations of bST nearly doubled during feed deprivation, whereas glucose and insulin steadily decreased. Circulating concentrations of IGF-I decreased nearly 50%, IGF-II decreased 28% and IGFBP-2 increased 49% during the 2 d of feed deprivation. In contrast, IGFBP-3 was not affected. Eighteen to 24 h after the bST challenge, circulating concentrations of IGF-I rose 100% during the fed period, but there was no response during the unfed period. Blood concentrations of IGF-II decreased 17% after bST challenge in the fed period but were unchanged in the unfed period. More moderate undernutrition (80% of requirements) did not affect circulating IGFBP-2 but did alter the response of IGFBP-2 to bST. A conceptual model was developed that illustrates that nutritional regulation of the ST/IGF system represents a key component signaling the appropriate use of nutrients. Overall, results demonstrate that nutritional modulation of the ST/IGF system plays a key role in animal performance and well-being over a wide range of physiological situations.
