Insulin Levels and HGH
ad
I’m curious to know since natural insulin level is a GH antagonist to natural GH release. Now since you release most GH in your first 2 hours of sleep. If you eat shortly before bed which would elevate natural insulin levels would that also have affect on GH injections in any way?

Manateeswimmer5678Growth hormone is the antagonist to insulin or insulin growth factor 1 hence they have opposite effects on blood glucose (growth hormone induces igf1 release from liver via conversion) therefore elevated insulin will blunt the effectiveness of growth hormone. Only exception is exogenous insulin which is extremely DANGEROUS and not recommended period
Iron_Bound1Good info thanks man. Never would I mess with that. What my body produces is plenty and I don’t get loss from gh. Guess I’m lucky.
I believe eating high carbs can blunt your gh release.
Iron_Bound1Yes I believe it hinders release but will it affect gh injections?
Manateeswimmer5678Growth hormone induces gluconeogenesis that's why it can cause diabetes mellitus so in theory a high carbohydrate meal will elevate insulin release which will impair proper Growth hormone release and function.
Iron_Bound1Function as well hmmm interesting. That was my concern. Thank you Manatee
