I myself have been doing some research on IGF and I found a interesting bit of information out about the use of AAS with GH.
*Growth hormone increases IGF-I and IGFBP-3 (Insulin Like Growth Factor Binding Protein). The study covered the combined effects of GH and anabolic androgenic steroids on IGFBP-3 and IGF-I levels
*9 power athletes using AAS-GH were researched
-in 5of the 6 periods (cycles) AAS-GH together decreased their IGFBP-3
-But the study also showed that IGF-I levels remained elevated in four out of 6 testing periods for all of the participants
Using AAS simutaneously with GH decreases both the normal and GH-stimulated IGFBP-3 levels.....
((((The IGFBP-3 levels are vital, where as they carry the IGF-1 to the muscle cells and enhances the effects that it has on the muscle)))))
but the effects that AAS & GH have on IGF-1 are varying and no valid claims have been made
I've been trying to research the effects that AAS has on IGF levels while they are being boosted by IGF synthetic compounds initially instead of the GH stimulated rise of IGF levels....anyone got any info?
