Somatotropin , also known as somatotropic hormone , growth hormone , STH, or SH or GH is a peptide hormone secreted by adenoipophysis em> composed of 191 amino acids for a weight of 22,005 Da. Its main function is to stimulate the development of human organism and many vertebrates , promoting the growth and mitotic cell division of almost all body tissues. Test sensitivity: 0.5 mUI / ml.

Somatomedines are growth hormone mediators (GHs) onbone, cartilage, skeletal muscle, skin, brain, bone marrow and in general proteosynthesis .In contrast to GH, IGF-I decreases insulin resistance and decreases the chances of having type 2 diabetes mellitus and pancreatitis .IGF-I is crucial to storing memories and making them stay longer by stimulating interneuronal connections, thus improving memory . I motor-wheelers seem to be protected by the IGF-1. Although cancer cells also use IGF-I to grow and although cancerous tissues have a greater amount of receptors for this hormone, cancer patients have no higher levels of IGF-I than healthy ones and these can not be used as risk factors or as tumor markers.Although anabolic properties are attributed to GH, IGF-1 is actually the anabolic hormone that performs this task. This feature is mistakenly considered by GH, as IGF-1 is strictly dependent on its production. In fact, GH itself is a lipolytic and hyperglycemic hormone, and can also be secreted without mediating the production of IGF, and hence without favoring cell growth. IGF-1 is a very important hormone also in adults, in fact if they are lacking (especially in the presence of a concomitant deficiency of testosterone ems) increase mortality and the chances of cardiovascular collapse . Test sensitivity: 1.29 ng / ml.

Insulin is a peptide hormone with anabolic properties em> produced by beta cells of Langerhans islands within pancreas ; is composed of two chains joined by two sulphide bridges: A chain of 21 amino acids and B chain of 30 amino acids . Its most well-known function is to regulate hematic blood glucose levels by lowering blood glucose by activating various metabolic processes and cell phones. It also has an essential role in proteosynthesis (protein synthesis) along with other hormones that synergistically participate in this process, including the axis GH < / em> / IGF-1 and testosterone . Insulin is the main hormone responsible for the fattening phenomenon ( lipogenesis ), ie lipid storage within the fatty tissue em> . Test Sensitivity: 0.75 mUI / ml.
