| | Product Description | |
| Insulin-like growth factor I or somatomedin-C, is a peptide highly dependent on growth hormone and has potent growth promoting activity. IGF-I is transported in serum by several IGF-binding proteins. In the diagnosis of growth disorders, measurements of IGF-I are a useful adjunct to assessment of growth hormone secretion. A normal plasma or serum IGF-I concentration is strong evidence against GH deficiency, with exceptions being some GH deficient children with craniopharyngiomas and adults who have a prolactin secreting tumor accompanied with GH deficiency and prolactin excess.
