does raising gh raise test as well
The value of IGF-1 and GH becomes so much more significant when we realize their integral role in testicular function. In fact, it seems that these hormones are more effective at building testes, than muscles.
Research has shown GH to be vitally important in testicular function, 95-97 but it is generally accepted that the beneficial effects are directly mediated by hGH’s conversion to IGF-1.98 As many of you know, IGF-1 is created in the liver by GH, upon interacting with insulin. So, we will be focusing on the usage and benefits of IGF-1, rather than GH, as it seems more cost effective and directly related to our purpose of optimizing recovery.
In short, IGF-1 increases steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (sTAR),98 and cholesterol side chain cleaving enzyme (CYP 11A)99. These are both rate-limiting steps and are critical factors for converting cholesterol into hormones, such as testosterone. IGF-1 also has the ability to increase the concentration of steroidogenic enzymes in the testes, such as 3b HSD.100 IGF-1 can also increase the testes sensitivity to LH and hCG by increasing the number of LH receptors.99-102
These positive effects on testicular function make IGF-1 an ideal drug for PCT. A dose of IGF-1 Lr3 at 80mcg/day, split two times per day, would likely be the most cost effective dose.
GH & IGF-1 act to stimulate proein synthesis, while insulin acts primarily to inhibit protein breakdown (as well as inhibiting glucose breakdown in muscle...).absolutely not and I can explain.
testosterone is to Hormone
HGH is to Amino
HGH utilizes a different method inducing muscularity and protein synthesis upregulation. I can say both testosterone and HGH are syngergistic though and feed off each other for a much greater gain.
HGH stimulates satelite cells actually doubling a cell rather than cell volumizing.
Testosterone increased will upregulate protein synthesis but by cell cell volumizing not cell reproduction like HGH.
HGH or Human Growth Hormone is a hormone. It is a peptide or a string of amino acids but that is of no consequence. It is a hormone.Being HGH is not a hormone it does not suppress nor increase test output.
Growth hormone levels do exert a negative feedback both through the increase in liver synthesized IGF-1 that it engenders and directly itself.Now as for HGH I dont know of studies showing increasing HGH will down regulate the pituitary gland.
IGF-1 has been shown in studies to increase Follicle-Stimulating Hormone with positive impact on Luteinizing Hormone as well.the only benefit i see in IGF usage for PCT is the uptake of protein synthesis. Same effect steroids has on the cells. That's why using insulin or IGF are beneficial during PCT. When you lose test levels protein synthesis lowers so running another product to increase where one product leaves off creates this bridge. IGF uses the same pathways as insulin thus force feeding cells thus the usage of HGH since growth hormone does convert to IGF through the liver.
I use GH post work out just for this reason for a faster and better recovery.
Wow did I freakin say that?! I must have drank the dumb coffee that day and not the smart coffee. Wow!! I dont even know how I typed that up and not caught that. I was answering emails all day and chit chattin on another forum I was typing and not thinking out what i was typing wow!!absolutely not and I can explain.

IGF-1 has been shown in studies to increase Follicle-Stimulating Hormone with positive impact on Luteinizing Hormone as well.
Insulin also has been shown to enhance Luteinizing hormone and Follicle-stimulating hormone.
These things lead to quicker recovery.
GH therapy leads to higher IGF-1 & insulin levels and has been shown to slowly result in a decline in SHBG.
Insulin does result in a decline in SHBG.
There is no relationship between IGF-1 & SHBG.
These things lead to more bioavailable hormones (such as testosterone) and better recovery.
It also declines the SHBG wich kind of " supports" your TEST right? But from what im understanding is that it actually dosent "raise" test.
