But the hormones also increase cancer and other diseases that limit lifespan. The researchers developed a strain of dwarf rats that were naturally deficient in both growth hormone and in IGF-1.

Aims: The aim of this study was to explore possible changes in body composition, blood glucose regulation, plasma growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), insulin-like growth ...

Growth hormone and IGF-1 have been implicated in maintaining the structural and functional integrity of the heart and vascular system. Investigations purport that the peptide's potential to modulate ...

Lonapegsomatropin is a pegylated prodrug of the human growth hormone, somatropin, administered as a subcutaneous injection once-weekly.
