Sustained IGF-1 elevation is a theoretical concern for occult malignancy and for proliferative retinopathy, and most research protocols include a baseline and a 12 week IGF-1 measurement with dose reduction or discontinuation triggers at greater than 2 standard deviations above the age-matched mean

A single intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg dichlorvos/kg body weight led to higher mortality in LPD rats (as expected with a protein-deficient diet) and lower mortality in HPD rats, compared with SD animals (Purshottam & Kaveeshwar, 1979)
It really does seem to have a wide range of healing functions and mechanisms
