Human Growth Hormone(HGH) Test Kit

The main significance of growth hormone testing in children is to evaluate the growth and development of children, especially when growth hormone deficiency (such as dwarfism, etc.) or excess (such as gigantism, etc.) is suspected. Growth hormone (GH) is an important peptide hormone secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. It promotes the growth of bones, internal organs and the whole body. It also plays a key role in protein synthesis, fat metabolism and mineral metabolism.
