Insulin-like growth factors. several factors that regulate cell growth and differentiation for a variety of non-epithelial cell types.
Insulin-like Growth Factor. Human Growth Hormone (HGH) stimulates production in the liver of IGF-1 (also called somatomedin-C) and other growth factors that profoundly influence the body. Anti-aging researchers are conducting intensive studies of IGF in conjunction with Hormone Replacement Therapies and related anti-aging programs.
insulin-like growth factor. a substance naturally produced by the body that has many of the same effects as growth hormone. There are 2 types, IGF-1 and IGF-2; a genetically engineered form of IGF-1 is under study as a therapy for AIDS-related wasting.
(Insulin-like Growth Factor): A naturally occurring 'youth molecule' that increases collagen production which thickens the dermis and re-juices the skin.
Insulin-Like Growth Factor. An important peptide for the regulation of growth hormone. Produced by the liver, it has an insulin-like effect on glucose.
Insulin-like growth factors. Substances that promote growth in the muscles.
Insulin-like growth factor. Another growth-promoting hormone. Growth hormone and IGF act as a team to signal the body to grow.
