Environmental Conditions: Store unopened vials at controlled room temperature (typically 2025 C) as directed
Phase 2b primary endpoints failed in the largest published trial
The method of giving the shot, like intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intravenous, affects the dose
In the aforementioned study from our group, adult mice with partial IGF-1 also displayed decreased expression of genes involved in lipid metabolism (ATP-citrate lyase, acetyl-CoA acyltransferase 1B, acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase 1) and cholesterol synthesis and transport (Both HMG-CoA reductase and synthase, LDL-related protein 1, proprotein convertase subtilisin/Kesin type 9), resulting in dyslipidaemia
When to increase dose Consider increasing if: Minimal response after 4-6 weeks at current dose No side effects at current dose Current dose below the higher end of recommended range Goals not being met with conservative approach Increase gradually, typically by 25-50% at a time
