IGF deals with the process of cell growth and differentiation in a variety of cells. IGF helps to stimulate the Type I IGF receptor causing more activity in intracellular signaling molecules, leading to cell survival through inhibition of apoptosis.
In other words, you will have an increase in the amount of cells, they will split and grow into new cells, and it will also prevent the death of other cells even when they were programmed for cell apoptosis (cell death).
Skeletal muscle tissue increases from IGF are due to increases in satellite cell activity, differentiation, and increased protein synthesis. IGF is also believed to suppress the myostatin gene, which regulates ultimate cell growth, as well as by suppressing cortisol levels.
The responsible party for the growth of new cells is IGF and this process is also known as hyperplasia. Even though IGF is far more anabolic than alternatives like growth hormone it has been proved to be a lot more effective to take a peptide androgen version as it will help to stimulate maximum growth in the newly formed cells. Most bodybuilders that use IGF will confirm that the first thing you notice is a sudden increase in your appetite.
This is because the peptide uses carbohydrates faster which must be replaced since they are protein sparing. Intense pumps are noticed within the first week of administration, lipolysis is usually noticed near the end of the cycle, but usually by way of increases of lean mass which cause a higher thermogenic effect.
The average muscle gain achieved after a IGF cycle averages at about 6 pounds so it is a very popular cycle amongst bodybuilders.
