Native IGF-1 added to cell culture media at the start of a 72-hour experiment will be substantially degraded and sequestered by the end of that window, even in serum-free conditions

However, if STAT5b mediates both metabolic signaling and IGF-I production it still needs to be understood where the two pathways diverge, and why GH metabolic signaling is not blocked in the absence of insulin crosstalk

It is the key regulator of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1), which is secreted from target tissues, particularly the liver

Reducing it at the molecular level is how GHK-Cu produces systemic anti-aging benefits beyond any single tissue
