Injecting insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) into the masseter muscle could potentially lead to several outcomes, although it's important to emphasize that this action is highly unadvisable and potentially dangerous. Here's a theoretical overview:
Here is what chat gpt said when i asked about injecting IGF into the masseter muscles, You can combine this with known research about how chewing effects the growth of the ramus too.
The reason I mention this is that there isnt enough autistic theory as some of the threads you would come across from the earlier days of the forum which is unfortunate.
- Muscle Growth: IGF-1 is known for its role in promoting cell growth and proliferation, including muscle cells. Injecting it directly into the masseter muscle could theoretically stimulate muscle growth in that specific area.
- Increased Jaw Size: Since the masseter muscle is one of the major muscles involved in chewing, injecting IGF-1 could lead to hypertrophy (increased size) of the masseter muscle, resulting in a larger jawline.
- Potential Side Effects: However, injecting IGF-1 into any muscle can have serious side effects. Excessive growth of the masseter muscle could lead to issues such as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, difficulty chewing, facial asymmetry, and aesthetic concerns.
- Systemic Effects: Injecting IGF-1 into a specific muscle doesn't necessarily limit its effects to that area. IGF-1 can have systemic effects on the body, including metabolic functions, cell growth, and organ function. Injecting it inappropriately could disrupt these processes and lead to health complications.
- Legal and Ethical Concerns: The use of IGF-1 injections for non-medical purposes is illegal and unethical. It's a form of performance enhancement that can have serious consequences for overall health and well-being.
- Medical Risks: Injecting any substance into the body carries risks, including infection, tissue damage, and adverse reactions to the injected substance. In the case of IGF-1, there's also a risk of disrupting the body's natural hormone balance, which can have wide-ranging effects.
