Somatotropic Axis Modulation

Meaning

Somatotropic axis modulation refers to the deliberate adjustment or therapeutic manipulation of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Somatotropic axis, which controls the production and action of Growth Hormone (GH) and Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1). This endocrine intervention is employed to correct deficiencies, manage growth disorders, or optimize body composition and metabolic function. The goal is to restore the physiological rhythm and balance of this critical system.
