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 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.

Skeletal muscle tissue increases from IGF are due to increases in satellite cell activity, differentiation, and increased protein synthesis. IGF is also believed to suppress the myostatin gene, which regulates ultimate cell growth, as well as by suppressing cortisol levels.

IGF is in fact responsible for the growth of new cells otherwise known as hyperplasia. Although this product is a lot more anabolic than standard growth hormone it is still thought more effective to use a peptide type androgen to stimulate optimum growth in the newly formed cells. The majority of people that use IGF claim that they notice an immediate effect on their appetite.

The easiest way to explain this is that the peptide version will burn carbs a lot faster which ill then have to be replaced cause they really are protein sparing. During the first week's cycle intense pumps are felt and lipolysis will kick in at the end of the cycle, but usually by lean mass increases that generate an increased 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.
