Growth Hormone and Fasting: 7 Research Findings About GH Secretion, Insulin and IGF-1
Growth hormone and fasting have a distinctive relationship. During food deprivation, pituitary growth hormone (GH) secretion often increases, even though circulating insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) may remain unchanged or decline. This apparent contradiction reflects nutritional regulation of the GH–IGF-1 axis, particularly changes in insulin availability and hepatic GH responsiveness. 7 Research Findings About Growth […]
