Lipoprotein (a) is a molecule that transports cholesterol and contains an LDL molecule. In a healthy body, Lp(a) does not pose a problem. It circulates and performs repairs and restorations in damaged blood vessels. The problem arises when more and more repairs need to be made to the arteries. In this scenario, Lp(a) concentrates at the damaged areas, attaches itself to the wall of the damaged blood vessel, releases its LDL and begins to promote the deposition of oxidized LDL in the wall, generating over time more inflammation then, more plaque.
Additionally, Lp(a) promotes the formation of blood clots in newly formed plaque, further reducing the inner diameter of blood vessels.
A high concentration of Lp(a) is therefore an important cardiovascular risk factor.

Insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is a hormone similar in structure to insulin and works with growth hormone to reproduce and regenerate cells.
Growth hormone, made by the pituitary gland, stimulates the liver to produce IGF-1 and this then stimulates the growth of cells throughout the body, leading to growth and development (such as in the uterus and during adolescence), tissue strengthening (improved bone density, muscle building) and healing (skin, bones, intestinal mucosa, etc.), depending on the body's needs.
Longevity Medicine considers it to be one of the anti-aging hormones. In this sense, it is correlated with greater telomere length in healthy subjects of all ages and in elderly men.
IGF-1 increases glutathione peroxidase, an important antioxidant enzyme.
IGF-1 is also important for building muscle and reducing muscle loss due to aging and disease.
Higher levels of IGF-1 are associated with greater bone mineral density in older women. IGF-1 is known to be a direct promoter of bone growth.
It is also the most powerful stimulator of collagen biosynthesis and can help prevent skin aging.
