Additional Information
IGF-1 is a peptide hormone crucial for bone and tissue growth and development. This test measures IGF-1 levels, indicating whether they're normal for your age. Low levels may suggest decreased production, potentially leading to low bone density, reduced muscle mass, and lipid alterations. High levels can indicate elevated IGF-1, causing abnormal skeletal growth, thickened bones, and swollen soft tissues. Both can lead to enlarged organs and complications like type 2 diabetes, increased cardiovascular risk, high blood pressure, arthritis, and reduced lifespan.
