IGF-1 also enhances the activity of T-lymphocytes, which are essential for cell-mediated immunity and the destruction of infected or cancerous cells (Alpdogan et al., 2003)
This complementary mechanism preserves natural feedback loops while significantly amplifying growth hormone secretion, distinguishing it from continuous, non-pulsatile stimulation approaches that may lead to receptor desensitization
