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).

The increase in the presence of skeletal muscle tissue is also due to the increased satellite cell activity brought on by IGF, which is also thought to be suppress the myostatin gene that is responsible for regulating ultimate cell growth and the suppression of our cortisol levels.

IGF causes hyperplasia, or new cell growth. While the product is far more anabolic than growth hormone, it is still recommended to use an androgen with the peptide to create more growth in the newly created cells. Most users report a noticeable increase in appetite right away.

The reason for this is that the peptide type will use up carbs a lot quicker which need to be replaced as they are protein sparing. In the first week of the cycle intense pumps are noticed and lipolysis tends to be take affect towards the end of the cycle, but normally through increases in lean mass that will lead to a higher thermogenic effect.
