This strategy can significantly help one remain in ketosis while performing at a very high level
For in vitro cytotoxicity assays where benzyl alcohol vehicle effects could confound results, include matched Bacteriostatic Water vehicle controls at the same final benzyl alcohol concentration as the peptide treatment to distinguish compound-specific from vehicle-associated biological effects

however, when recombinant IGF-1 is co-administrated with recombinant GH, circulating leptin levels are unexpectedly elevated, likely due to GH stimulatory effects on insulin production.87 Moreover, treatment with recombinant GH increases IGF-1 levels in patients undergoing hemodialysis with low protein intake, resulting in a positive nitrogen balance and suggesting an anabolic response, which may also contribute to increase the leptin levels.88 Of note, among the multiple factors, circulating IGF-1 concentration is strongly associated with loss of appetite in dialysis patients, a condition linked to poor clinical outcomes.89 However, very low IGF-1 levels have been associated with a higher mortality in CKD patients with poor muscle strength, whereas those with higher muscle strength showed improved survival despite of the reduced IGF-1 concentration.90 This suggests that muscle effects, potentially influenced by physical exercise habits or muscle-derived cytokines (myokines), may play a role in these outcomes
