Growth Hormone Axis Resilience

Meaning

Growth Hormone Axis Resilience refers to the robust capacity of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Somatotropic axis to maintain or rapidly restore optimal function in the production and pulsatile release of Growth Hormone (GH) and Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1). A resilient axis demonstrates the ability to withstand stressors like aging, chronic illness, or exogenous suppressive therapies and efficiently return to a healthy secretory pattern. This physiological characteristic is a key indicator of overall metabolic health and regenerative potential.
