Growth Hormone Output

Meaning

Growth Hormone Output quantifies the total amount and the characteristic pulsatile pattern of Somatotropin (GH) released by the anterior pituitary gland over a defined period, typically a full 24 hours. This measure is a critical clinical indicator of the body’s intrinsic anabolic capacity and its ability to effectively regulate metabolism and drive tissue repair processes. The precise pulsatile nature, including both the amplitude and frequency of the release pulses, is physiologically as important as the total integrated concentration of the hormone.
