Growth Hormone

Growth Hormone (GH), also known as somatotropin, is a peptide hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays a vital role in growth, metabolism, and overall body composition. It stimulates growth and cell reproduction by promoting protein synthesis, enhancing fat metabolism, and regulating carbohydrate metabolism. The Growth Hormone test is used to evaluate GH levels in the body and can help diagnose various conditions, including growth hormone deficiency, acromegaly (excess growth hormone in adults), and gigantism (excess growth hormone in children).
