Basic Guide: Growth Hormone Secretagogues
Growth Hormone Secretagogues In the 1980's three classes of compounds where studied to determine their effect on growth hormone release. These three compounds were: Growth Hormone…

Boosting Insulin Naturally
I understand not wanting to use exogenously administered insulin. Does this mean you would lose out on insulin's contribution to GH induced anabolism? No...you can achieve…

Caprylic Acid (MCTs) – reduce expression of lipogenic genes
Thank you for posting that up BT. MCTs, specifically caprylic acid (octonate) does much more than that. Permit me to introduce you to one of my…

Dat Knows MGF (you might as well learn something as well)
To quickly summarize the difference in function, MGF stimulates muscle stem cells (satellite cells) to reenter the cell cycle and proliferate, whereas IGF-1 is necessary for…

EOD Calorie Restriction = Longevity?
EasyEJL your mind is just wasted when it is mixed in with all the "fluff" posts at AM. You mentioned something that to my mind is…

Further Note on GH & Insulin
In plain language, GH in certain circumstances increases glucose uptake identical to that of insulin into both muscle and adipose tissue. This involves translocations of glut…

Ghrelin (assumed GHS) increases GH signalling in muscle
I have always maintained that GH signaling activity in muscle or autocrine/paracrine IGFs in muscle are more important then circulating systemic levels. Well here is support…

Growth Hormone Administration vs. CJC-1295/GHRP-6 + GHRH
Units of Measurement Growth Hormone (GH) like other biologically active substances is measured in International Units (abbreviated as IU) which are based on the measured biological…

Growth Hormone Receptor structure, post-biogenesis behavior and degradation
The following was originally created primarily for my benefit and serves as a basic summary of Growth Hormone Receptor structure, post-biogenesis behavior and degradation. It is…

Here is the Insulin Cheat Sheet I put together in September
The following was a nice little concise summation of the effect insulin has on GH, GHRs and intracellular events, put together about 6 months back. It…

IGF-1, GHRP, Testosterone, Trenbolone & Nandrolone Primer [entire thread…] (What you should read if you don’t want to be a beginner)
I think it's important to start off by visualizing an interesting distinction between peptide hormones such as insulin and growth hormone and the peptide hormone IGF-1.…

Insulin, how it works and why GH isn’t anabolic w/o it
I am tired of seeing the same wrong explanations on why insulin & growth hormone are anabolic so lets take a look. I don't feel like…
