How does insulin interact with insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), and what are the implications for growth and metabolic regulation?
Insulin and IGF-1 share structural similarity and can activate each other’s receptors, albeit at lower affinities. Their interaction enhances anabolic processes, influencing body growth and glucose metabolism.
