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.

Then hormone treatment was stopped and the animals had lower growth hormone and IGF-1 levels the rest of their lives. That had an effect on cancer: 88 percent of “normal” male rats have tumors ...

Because the engine that used to drive your regeneration-your growth hormone and IGF-1 axis-just isn't firing like it once did. This is where targeted IGF-1 support becomes a valuable option.

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 ...

Children with growth hormone deficiency typically have low blood levels of IGF-1. IGF-1 plays a principal role in stimulating growth and its deficiency can lead to short stature.
