Insulin-Like Growth Factors
Insulin-Like Growth Factors (IGFs) are a family of hormones produced by the body to control and promote growth, metabolism and cell development. They are important for the normal growth and function of all types of cells and are particularly important for regulating cell division and growth during development. IGFs are important for maintaining normal levels of glucose and lipid metabolism, and they also play a role in the regulation of bone and muscle growth, and in the maintenance of normal cardiovascular health. IGFs are also important for the growth, repair and maintenance of neurons in the brain and spinal cord. They are also important for the growth of certain types of cancer cells, and they play a role in maintaining normal immunity and inflammation responses. IGFs are essential for normal growth and can be used to help treat diseases such as diabetes, cancer and heart disease.
