Information about IGF-1
IGF-1 is a hormone (a type of growth factor) that is chemically comparable to insulin. IGF-1 is mainly produced in the liver, but also by several other tissues in the body, such as the heart, kidneys and bones. This hormone plays an important role in the regulation of growth and development, as well as in cell growth and survival in various tissues. Its presence and function are important in promoting healthy growth and maintenance of various organs and tissues in the body.
By measuring your levels of IGF-1, you can gain more insight into the body's hormonal status and possible deficiency. The hormone test is recommended for those who want:
- Assessment of growth and development: IGF-1 levels can provide important information about growth and development in children and adolescents. Low levels may indicate possible growth disorders or hormonal imbalances that may affect height growth.
- Evaluation of hormonal health: IGF-1 is linked to several hormonal processes in the body, including the production of growth hormone. Analyzing IGF-1 can help identify any hormonal disorders or deficiencies.
- Monitoring treatment response: For patients treated with growth hormone or other hormonal therapies, IGF-1 testing can be used to monitor the effects of treatment and ensure that the correct dosage is given.
- Evaluation of aging and cell regeneration: IGF-1 is involved in cell division and regeneration. Analysis of IGF-1 levels can provide insight into the body's ability to repair and maintain its tissues.
Hormones are substances that control processes in the body and are produced in special glands and cells in the body.
