    Glossary Insulin-like Growth Factor 1

    hormone promoting cell growth and development, similar to insulin

    Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) is a hormone similar in structure to insulin that plays a crucial role in childhood growth and continues to have anabolic effects in adults. It is primarily produced in the liver and is stimulated by growth hormone (GH). IGF-1 is involved in cell growth, development, and repair, and has been studied for its potential effects on hair growth and the treatment of conditions like alopecia.
