Vitamin D and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) are involved in a complex interplay that may have implications for growth hormone dosing, researchers found.

A key hormone responsible for cellular growth and muscle regeneration, IGF-1 is closely linked to the body's natural levels of Human Growth Hormone (HGH). As we age, both HGH and IGF-1 levels ...

The hormone IGF-1: A trigger of puberty Date: July 26, 2010 Source: Journal of Clinical Investigation ... Divergent roles of growth factors in the GnRH regulation of puberty in mice.

What would happen if you suddenly stopped growing at age 12 or 13? Solving genetic growth mysteries and scheduling regular appointments with pediatric endocrinologists is atypical for most parents and ...

In animal studies, diminished levels of growth hormone and IGF-1 have been linked with longer survival, but the relationship between this hormone and longevity in humans is unclear, ...

The hormone induced by hGH, insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1), promotes the growth of cells and prevents them from dying. And that’s exactly what cancer cells do — they grow wildly and don’t die.

Growth hormone, and more specifically IGF-1, triggers the production of growth hormone in the body. Growth hormone makes us grow, but not only in length - feet, hands and muscles too.
