==Insulin-like growth factors==
IGF-1 is one of a number of Insulin-like growth factors.
Insulin-Like Growth Factors are produced by many different tissues and have local (paracrine and autocrine - see [[Hormones - Anatomy & Physiology|hormones]] for further details) effects.
They bind to carrier proteins to extend their half life in the blood.
The Liver is the main source of IGF-1.
==Actions of IGF-1==
*Increased protein synthesis
*Increased chondrogenesis
*GROWTH
