Would IGF-1 have a continued effect on SHBG levels?

I did a four-week IGF-1-only cycle last year (receptor grade - I forgot dosage, but it was pretty low because I'm usually a dose wimp) and I've been off ever since. The thing is, I just had a blood test and it looks like I'm just about back to normal, but my SHBG levels continue to be low, thereby leaving more natural test (by ratio) floating around in my blood, which I presume is a good thing. You reckon this is due to the IGF? Because if so, I might like to get some more of that stuff :fruitsex:

FYI I was on test, dbol and nolva a few weeks before the IGF (I originally wanted to start the IGF with PCT, but I failed the "thou shalt have all gear on hand" commandment, and had to wait).

For what it's worth, I noticed my balls started to reinflate immediately from the IGF-1, but other than that, I gained 1Kg in four weeks, and lost a tiny bit of fat.

im not sure if its been researched, but i will look into it and get back to this thread. Insulin, for sure, lowers SHBG..but exogenous use of such drugs would not have a continued effect after discontinuance imo.

goodluck,
