Reversal of enhanced pancreatic cancer growth in diabetes by insulin

When portal insulin levels are low (e.g., during fasting and in T1DM), the low insulin activity in the liver must be able to lower IGF-1 secretion and reduce its activity to prevent IGF-1-induced hypoglycemia by binding to the INSR, as the IGF-1 concentrations are significantly higherenough to compensate for the lower affinity of IGF-1 to the INSR

Peptides and hormones are related, but they are not always the same thing

Tesamorelin is a synthetic peptide that achieves this GHRH-R activation by mimicking the structure and actions of the native growth hormone-releasing hormone

Summary: Calorie restriction is often reported to lower IGF-1 levels, but studies have found this to be more the case in rodents than humans
