7. Human Growth Hormone -- Effects
   Indirect Effects are mediated primarily by Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF-1), a hormone that is secreted from the liver and other tissues in response to human growth hormones. A majority of the effects of human growth hormones is actually due to IGF-1 acting on target cells.
