the body secretes approximately 40 ug/kg daily during late puberty.
After puberty ≈ 40 mcg/kg/day
70 x 40 = 2800 mcg = 2.8 mg of natural GH per day.
Convert this to international units (IU):
2.8 mg x 3 = approximately 8.4 IU per day.
When you take growth hormone injections, if your IU is less than 9 IU, you are literally giving your body externally to prevent it from producing a larger amount.
To understand more the difference between the importance of local and systemic IGF-1, it is very large in clinical trials when scientists delete the gene responsible for receiving local IGF-1, there was a very severe decrease in height (shorter by (40%), while when they prevented the body’s production of systemic IGF-1, the body’s height was almost not affected at all, not even noticeably. This makes it clear that local IGF-1 is the primary and main responsible, and systemic IGF-1 plays a secondary role that is almost negligible in the longitudinal growth of bones
