The oral capsule format is of particular interest in this area, since the swallowed peptide is delivered directly into the gastrointestinal tract, where much of this research activity has historically been localised and where the compounds reported stability in gastric conditions is most relevant
Understanding Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), formerly known as somatomedin or somatomedin C, has a single chain 70-amino acid polypeptide cross-linked by 3 disulfide bridges. Although IGF-1 provides several benefits similar to insulin such as lower blood sugar levels, the key difference is that insulin mediates mainly a metabolic response, whereas IGF-1 mediates growth-promoting effects (Source)
These two peptides are often compared and for good reason
