Bodybuilders Understanding IGF
IGF is responsible for cell growth and differentiation in many different cell types. IGF stimulates the Type I IGF receptor and thus induces a higher level of activation of intracellular signaling molecules which are responsible for promoting cell survival by inhibition of apoptosis.
In layman’s terms it means the quantity of cells present is increased and they in turn will split and produce new cells, but at the same time it will stop other cells from cell death otherwise known as cell apoptosis.
The levels of skeletal muscle present multiply because of an increase of active satellite cells, which is all down to what IGF produces. It will also bring about the suppression of the myostatin gene which is responsible for the regulation of ultimate cell growth and will also reduce cortisol levels.
IGF is in fact responsible for the growth of new cells otherwise known as hyperplasia. Although this product is a lot more anabolic than standard growth hormone it is still thought more effective to use a peptide type androgen to stimulate optimum growth in the newly formed cells. The majority of people that use IGF claim that they notice an immediate effect on their appetite.
The easiest way to explain this is that the peptide version will burn carbs a lot faster which ill then have to be replaced cause they really are protein sparing. During the first week’s cycle intense pumps are felt and lipolysis will kick in at the end of the cycle, but usually by lean mass increases that generate an increased thermogenic effect.
Most users gain an average of 4-7 pounds of lean mass during their first cycle of IGF. If you need to discover more advice regarding anabolic steroid cycles, then you should click on the link to the steroid-encyclopaedia website, which is found at the foot of this page.
