| |
| − | |[[Pituitary Growth Hormone - Anatomy & Physiology|Growth Hormone]] released from the pituitary gland binds to receptors on liver cells which causes them to synthesise and secrete IGF-1.
| |
| − | |IGF-1 has insulin-like effects as it can bind to the Insulin Receptor, and is also the stimulus for growth in the body. Almost all cell types respond to IGF-1.

| |
| − | |Angiotensinogen is the precursor to angiotensin 1, and is part of the [[Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System|Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone system]].
| |
| − | |Is converted to Angiotensin by [[Kidney Endocrine Function - Anatomy & Physiology|renin]] which in turn is converted to other substrates which act to raise blood pressure during hypotension.
