The IGF-1 Test measures insulin-like growth factor 1, a hormone regulated by growth hormone (GH), to assess growth and endocrine function. Abnormal levels may indicate growth disorders, acromegaly, gigantism, or GH deficiency. Doctors order this test to evaluate delayed growth, short stature, excessive growth, or pituitary disease and to monitor GH therapy. Results provide valuable insight into hormone balance, metabolism, and overall endocrine health.

The IGF Binding Protein 1 (IGFBP-1) Test measures IGFBP-1, a protein that regulates insulin-like growth factor (IGF) activity and reflects insulin sensitivity. Abnormal levels may indicate insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes risk, or metabolic syndrome. Doctors use this test to evaluate glucose regulation, investigate metabolic disorders, and support early detection of endocrine imbalances that affect growth, energy balance, and long-term health.

The IGF Binding Protein 3 (IGFBP-3) Test measures IGFBP-3, the primary carrier of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), to evaluate growth hormone activity. Abnormal levels may indicate growth disorders, pituitary dysfunction, or nutritional problems. Doctors use this test with IGF-1 to assess short stature, delayed or rapid growth, and monitor therapy for growth hormone deficiency or excess, supporting accurate diagnosis and treatment.

The HH-2 Hormone Health - Men Panel is an extensive evaluation of key hormones that play crucial roles in men's health, encompassing a broad spectrum of endocrine functions. This panel is meticulously designed to assess and monitor the hormonal balance and endocrine health in men, offering insights into various physiological and metabolic processes.

The HH-3 Hormone Health - Men Panel is a comprehensive evaluation designed specifically for men's health, targeting an extensive range of hormonal factors that influence various physiological processes. This panel is crafted to provide a deep dive into men's endocrine health, offering insights into hormonal balance, reproductive health, and overall well-being.

The Protein & Amino Acid Utilization Panel — Comprehensive provides an in-depth evaluation of how protein and amino acids are absorbed and used at the metabolic level. By combining plasma amino acid analysis, prealbumin, IGF-1, functional markers, vitamin B12 and folate, creatinine, and a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, this panel delivers a clear view of protein utilization, nutritional status, and metabolic efficiency.

The HH-3 Hormone Health - Women panel is a comprehensive set of tests designed to provide an extensive overview of a woman's hormonal balance and overall reproductive health. This panel includes tests for DHEA Sulfate, Estradiol, Estrogen, Estrone, FSH, IGF-1, LH, Pregnenolone, and Progesterone. This panel is pivotal for those seeking a deep dive into their hormonal health, potentially uncovering underlying conditions affecting fertility, menstrual cycles, and overall well-being.
