(Marino. 2010). The scientists investigated the effect of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) in a mouse-model of human premature aging, whose main characteristic is a high GH/IGF1-quotient - something you would also expect in bodybuilders injecting exegenous growth hormone. The scientists found: IGF-1 treatment restores the proper balance between IGF-1 and GH in Zmpste24 -/ − mice, delays the onset of many progeroid features, and significantly extends the lifespan of these progeroid animals. Although the scientists investigated a pathological model, chances are that doping induced changes in the IG...
