It's a good question-and one that concerns anyone who cooks with rice. It's true that there's a risk of food poisoning from leftover rice, but the problem lies more in how the rice is cooled and stored rather than in the cooking. Raw rice contains traces of a bacterium known as Bacillus cereus.
OPSS Answer. Insulin-like growth factor type 1âcommonly known as IGF-1âis a hormone produced naturally in the liver and involved in the human bodyâs growth and development. It is present in colostrum, the milk produced by mammals (including humans and cows) the first few days after giving birth.
View/Edit Mouse. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), also called somatomedin C, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IGF1 gene. IGF-1 has also been referred to as a sulfation factor and its effects were termed nonsuppressible insulin-like activity (NSILA) in the 1970s. IGF-1 is a hormone similar in molecular structure to insulin. It plays an important role in childhood growth and continues to have anabolic effects in adults. A synthetic analog of IGF-1, mecasermin, is used for the treatment of growth failure.
