HPS Axis Modulation

Meaning

HPS Axis Modulation refers to the intentional clinical or lifestyle adjustment of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Somatotropic axis, the primary regulatory pathway for Growth Hormone (GH) and Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1). Modulation involves using targeted interventions, such as specific amino acids, peptides, or exercise protocols, to optimize the pulsatile release of GH from the pituitary somatotroph cells. The goal is to enhance somatotropic signaling to support tissue repair, body composition, metabolic health, and overall longevity. This represents a nuanced approach to promoting anabolic and regenerative processes.
