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 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.

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 majority of bodybuilders will see average lean muscle gains of between 4 and 7 pounds in completing their first IGF cycle. This is a great way to see quick muscle gains although you should see the correct guidance before you start. A great site called steroid-encyclopaedia has a link at the bottom of the article and would be a great starting point for anyone considering IGF cycles.
