Hypertension affects approximately one
third of patients with acromegaly (High GH and IGF-1). Of the multiple
mechanisms of GH/IGF-I induced-hypertension the most reliable are a GH-induced
expansion of plasma volume by a sodium retaining effect on the kidney and
IGF-I-determined fluid retention by inhibiting atrial natriuretic peptide- induced
natriuresis

It is well
documented that both insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and leucine stimulate
skeletal muscle growth. Both IGF-1 and leucine stimulate mTOR signaling in
skeletal muscle, which may be responsible for the enhanced muscle growth.
