Abstract
Growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), especially the former, have immunoregulatory effects in addition to anabolic effects. The hormones may act to protect the host from lethal bacterial infection by promoting the maturation of myeloid cells, stimulating phagocyte migration, priming phagocytes for the production of superoxide anions and cytokines, and enhancing opsonic activity. GH administration may be beneficial for the prevention, as well as treatment, of severe sepsis in critical illness.

Research Quality Begins with Peptide Quality
At Particle Peptides, we believe that reliable research begins with reliable materials. That is why our research peptides are manufactured on cGMP-compliant production lines by a global pharmaceutical CDMO, and every batch undergoes independent third-party testing for:
- Purity
- Identity confirmation
- Peptide content
- Endotoxin levels
- Heavy metals (Class I & II)
- Microbial contamination (TAMC & TYMC)
Transparency and independently verified laboratory data form the foundation of high-quality scientific research.
