Testosterone is an example of a natural anabolic steroid with the, sometimes undesirable, effect of causing masculinization. effector effector /ef·fec·tor/ (e-fek´ter) 1. an agent that mediates a specific effect. 2. an organ that produces an effect in response to nerve stimulation. hormone that has been linked with several types of malignancy. Papers and discussions collected here, which originated at an October 2003 symposium held at the Novartis Foundation in London, detail the biology of IGF-1, look at its role in cancer, and examine recent epidemiological studies of the potential relationship of insulin and cancer. Contributors focus on the differences between insulin and IGF- 1 receptor signalling, insulin as a growth factor, and obesity, hyperinsulinaemia, and type 2 diabetes type 2 diabetes n.
