This document discusses the various roles of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) in the body. GH and IGF-1 are important for fetal and placental growth, ovarian and testicular development, bone and muscle growth, neuronal development, liver regeneration, and many other processes in the body. They regulate glomerular development and function, as well as play protective and anti-inflammatory roles.
