IGF-1 Modulation

Meaning

IGF-1 Modulation refers to the clinical strategy of precisely regulating the circulating levels and biological activity of Insulin-like Growth Factor 1. This polypeptide hormone, structurally similar to insulin, is primarily synthesized in the liver in response to growth hormone and mediates many of the anabolic effects of the somatotropic axis. Strategic modulation is utilized to support tissue repair, muscle protein synthesis, and bone density while balancing potential longevity trade-offs.
