[QUOTE="BigTex, post: 227586, member: 43589"] I will take a stab at this one.....the most common cause of low IGF-1 in males is age, you are 63. I don't see your serum HGH levels but critically, HGH levels dictate how much IGF-1 that the liver releases. These both can also be tied to testosterone levels, how ever, your T levels are high. I would definitely talk to your doctor about what you can do. Another guess might be, according to a recent Journal of Sexual Medicine study, low prolactin is actually strongly associated with Metabolic Syndrome. You do have high LDL, low HDL and a slightly elevated fasting blood glucose reading. Might be some dietary changes you can make to get both of these in check. The following strategies can help maximize a IGF-1 levels if they are found to be inadequate: [LIST] [*]Weight lifting. Among the many health benefits offered by regular resistance training with weights, the hormonal impact of elevated HGH levels, which in turn raise IGF-1 levels, is one of the most important. [*]Adequate sleep. The pituitary gland, where HGH is synthesized, releases the majority of growth hormone gh during sleep. As the chart below indicates, the pulsatile secretions of HGH increase substantially (both in terms of quantity and frequency) throughout the night. Therefore, elevating HGH release through more sleep will also trigger a beneficial production of more Insulin-like growth factor-1. [*]Intermittent Fasting. The practice of intermittent fasting, sometimes called IF, refers to the popular eating plan of abstaining from any caloric intake for 16, 18, or 20 hours each day (the fasting window), followed by a period of eating generally between 4-8 hours. The available clinical evidence shows that fasting practices such as IF can result in enormous gains in circulating HGH and, therefore, in greater resultant IGF-1 release by the liver. [*]HGH Replacement Therapy. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may be necessary for patients who have a particularly significant clinical, diagnosed deficiency due to an underperforming pituitary gland. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
