Insulin-like growth factor. What are Insulin-like growth factor. Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) is a polypeptide hormone similar to insulin. There are two types of insulin-like growth factors, IGF-1 and IGF-2, which are released upon stimulation by the growth hormone.
Insulin's most important function is to facilitate glucose (blood sugar) uptake by a variety of tissues, especially adipose (fat) and skeletal muscle. Insulin also stimulates the synthesis and storage of triglycerides and proteins. Insulin is the most important regulator of blood glucose. High blood glucose (such as exists shortly after a meal) stimulates the release of insulin, whereas low blood glucose levels inhibit insulin release. The most important reason for measuring the blood insulin level is the diagnosis or evaluation of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).
