Somatotropin Axis Stimulation

Meaning

Somatotropin Axis Stimulation is the clinical and physiological process of intentionally enhancing the pulsatile secretion and overall functional output of the Somatotropin axis, which is centered on Growth Hormone (GH) release from the anterior pituitary gland. The primary goal of this stimulation is to increase circulating GH and its downstream mediator, Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), to promote tissue repair, maintain lean body mass, and support metabolic health. This process is a key focus in restorative and longevity medicine for optimizing body composition and vitality.
