Longevity, size, and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels among breeds of purebred dogs. Left panel (A) shows mean breed lifespan as a function of mean breed weight for each of 16 breeds of dogs; three breeds are indicated by arrows. (Data from Li Y, Deeb B, Pendergrass W, Wolf N. Cellular proliferative capacity and life span in small and large dogs. J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci. 1996;51(6):B403–B408.) Right panel (B) shows mean plasma IGF-1 levels as a function of body mass in eight breeds of purebred dogs. (For details and citations, see Miller RA, Austad SN.
