P-III-NP

Meaning

P-III-NP stands for the N-terminal propeptide of type III procollagen, a specific biomarker that is released into the bloodstream during the synthesis of type III collagen. Clinically, the measurement of serum P-III-NP concentration is utilized as a reliable indicator of active tissue remodeling and the rate of collagen deposition. In the context of hormonal health and longevity, elevated levels may reflect increased fibrosis or connective tissue turnover, often associated with growth hormone effects or specific disease states. It provides an objective measure of anabolic activity.
