Nitric Oxide and IGF-1:
Quote:
Nitric Oxide increases glucose transport in skeletal muscle
Evidence that nitric oxide increases glucose transport in skeletal muscle. J. Appl. Physiol. 82(1): 359-363, 1997.
These observations suggest: (a) that IGF-I increases blood flow through a nitric oxide-dependent mechanism; (b) that total blood flow does not affect the insulinlike response of muscle to IGF-I; and (c) that nitric oxide may be required for the protein synthetic (growth hormone- like) response of muscle to IGF-I.
