Analyzes for hormones

Insulin-like growth factor I in the blood

The main factor determining the concentration of IGFR I in the blood serum is age. The concentration of IGFR I in the blood increases from very low values (20-60 ng / ml) at birth and reaches peak values (600-1100 ng / ml) during puberty.

Growth hormone (growth hormone, somatotropin) in the blood

Growth hormone (growth hormone, somatotropin) is a peptide isolated from the anterior pituitary gland and consists of 191 amino acids. The daily production of growth hormone is approximately 500 μg. The growth hormone stimulates protein synthesis, the processes of cell mitosis and enhances lipolysis. The half-life of the growth hormone in adults is 25 minutes.

Hormones

Hormones are a group of compounds of various chemical structures characterized by the ability, after isolation from the cells in which they form, to reach the target cells (most often with blood) and by binding to specific protein molecules of target cells (receptors) to cause in the latter more or less specific changes in metabolism.
