Hey bruthas!
I'm a long time lurker on this forum (the amount of knowledge is incredible!) and am about to pop my gear cherry. I've done MC's IGF-1 before (great stuff!), but never a cycle of gear.
When planning my cycle (which isn't what this topic is about), I was considering where to put IGF-1 into the mix; should I put it throughout the cycle? Towards the end? PCT? And I've read plenty of times on here the great things about IGF-1 and PCT, which is my biggest concern; I don't mind my nads shrinking a little or my nat test levels to drop, I just want them back ASAP! lol!
So I was thinking why does IGF1 seem to help with PCT so much, and I thought that maybe it's cell growth stimulating ability might help the testes grow back the cells they lost from atrophy, and that seems to make a lot of sense to me!
IGF1 helps grow cells
Testes need to grow some cells
IGF1 helps testes grow cells
Testes make Test and semen
Everyones happy!
So I decided to look around a little and I found some nice reads!
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10706548
and
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7994317
The most interesting sentence in particular to me is the last sentence of the second link:
"Both in vivo and in vitro, IGF-I increased LH/hCG receptors and the steroïdogenic response to hCG by a mechanism which is poorly understood yet."
So IGF1 makes more LH receptors and increases hCG's steroidogenic response..... KICK ASS!!!!
Is there anything IGF1 CAN'T do?!? :laugh:
Sorry for the essay; I just wanted to bring this up and see what all of you walking encyclopedia's thought.
Cheers!
