The figure above depicts the mechanism of actions of Insulin Growth factor -1 (IGF -1), a biological treatment for growth retardation in standard medical use. IGF -1 and other growth factors directly effect multiple steps in skeletal muscle hypertrophy and proliferation. The figure depicts IGF -1 restoration of the muscle end-plates, muscle fiber number and size leading to enhanced muscle contraction time in response to direct external stimuli. In brief, muscle tension box indicates enhanced muscle performance 14 and 28 days on IGF -1 treatment twice a day. Image courtesy of Dr. Feuerstein, JSTO.
