Anabolic Status Evaluation

Meaning

Anabolic Status Evaluation is a clinical assessment quantifying the balance between tissue building (anabolism) and tissue breakdown (catabolism) within the body. It specifically gauges the efficiency of physiological processes responsible for muscle synthesis, bone density maintenance, and cellular repair. Key biomarkers, including the ratio of anabolic hormones like testosterone and IGF-1 to catabolic hormones such as cortisol, are measured. This evaluation provides critical insight into the body’s regenerative capacity and overall hormonal milieu supporting healthy aging.
