Researchers publishing in Aging Cell have described how stopping growth hormone receptor production in midlife significantly lengthens the lives of mice. Growth but diabetes Growth hormone affects the metabolism of fats (lipids), increasing the levels of circulating fatty acids while increasing insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and impairing the function of insulin itself [1].

Researchers have found that altering a growth hormone receptor in the brain adipose tissue of aged male mice slows their mental aging and allows them to perform far better on cognitive tests. Growth signaling is not necessarily good The axis of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is well-known in aging, and the...
