IGF-1 Levels Increase with Testosterone. Is GH Really Needed?
Taken from this study http://ajpendo.physiology.org/cgi/reprint/281/6/E1172
This table shows the average of the before and after levels of IGF-1 following 16 weeks of Test E injections at the dosages listed in the first column.
IGF-I (ng/ml) (overall ANOVA P 5 0.0001)
25 mg 268 261
50 mg 246 225
125 mg 299 282
300 mg 314 388
600 mg 227 304
Now I don't know enough to know if these are significant changes are not. Only the 300mg weekly and 600mg weekly doses showed an increase and it was dose dependent.
Now, is this increase comparable to IGF-1 levels after GH supplementation? I have no idea what bloodwork looks like after such a thing.
