    Birth control pills were found to reduce IGF-1 levels in the short term and long term.  Those that had used birth control pills had lower IGF-1 levels compared to those that had never used birth control pills.  This fits with the current knowledge that oral estrogen reduces HGH and IGF-1.  Those were in post-menopausal women, but this is in pre-menopaus women.  This has implications on health, weight, disease...
