IGF-1 also known as somatomedin C is a polypeptide of 70 amino acids (7650 daltons), and is one of the number of associated insulin-like growth factors present in the flow. This polypeptide hormone about the same size as insulin and mimics insulin as well. So if one decides to stack the two, be careful because IGF-1 will make the effects of insulin much more potent. It is produced mostly in the Liver in response to growth hormone (GH) release from the pituitary gland. The molecule shows approximately 50% sequence homology with pro insulin and has a number of biological activities comparable to insulin. IGF-1 is a moderator of longitudinal growth in humans which translates to how tall you are capable of becoming. Total Serum IGF-1 concentrations are altered by age, nutritional state, body composition, and of course growth hormone secretion. A single basal IGF-1 level is useful in the assessment of short stature in children and in nutritional support studies of acutely ill patients. For diagnosing the condition acromegaly, a single IGF-1 concentration is much more reliable than a random GH measurement (Oppizi, et al., 1986). IGF-1 can be used for the evaluation of disease activity in acromegaly (Barkan, et al., 198.
IGF-1’s effects are not limited to building new muscle, however. It has a strong effect on lipid/ cholesterol metabolism, and helps the body shed fat at a drastically prominent rate. Also to be noted, IGF-1 is both a neuroprotector and neuro regenerator (nerve reproduction), which improves cognitive functions such as reflexes, memory, and learning ability.IGF is also important for production of connective tissue and insuring proper bone mineral density.
One study displayed rats that were given IGF-1 and did nothing were bigger and stronger than rats that weren’t given IGF-1 but exercised. Logically the group of rats that were given IGF-1 and exercised were the most muscular, and strongest rats in the house. The positive effects of IGF-1 on the rats continued for months even after the rats stopped getting the supply of the peptide hormone, while the exercising rats immediately lost size and strength as soon as they stopped exercising.
