IGF-1 (Insulin Growth Factor-1),LC/MS

Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) is a hormone produced primarily in the liver in response to growth hormone stimulation.

It plays a key role in cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation, particularly during childhood and adolescence.

Elevated levels of IGF-1 may indicate excess growth hormone production or certain medical conditions, while low levels may be associated with growth hormone deficiency or malnutrition.
