Growth Hormone Peptide Monitoring

Meaning

The clinical and laboratory practice of quantitatively assessing the levels of Growth Hormone-Releasing Peptides (GHRPs) and their downstream effectors, such as Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), to evaluate the functional status of the somatotropic axis. This monitoring is critical for identifying age-related declines in GH secretion and for guiding the precise use of GH secretagogues or replacement therapy. It offers a detailed view of the body’s anabolic and regenerative capacity.
