Excess Protein and Ageing: Does IGF-1 Shape How the Body Ages?

Protein and ageing are linked by a signal: IGF-1. It is suggested that when amino acids like leucine and methionine are abundant, they activate the mTOR pathway and raise IGF-1 — the messenger that tells cells to grow and repair. Useful in context, but research associates chronically high IGF-1 with blunted cellular clean-up and faster ageing. The point isn't less protein — it's balance: a signal that pulses and rests, not one that never switches off. Protein variation may be even more vital in this context.
