What is IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1) Panel Test?

The amount of IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1) in your blood is measured by this test. IGF-1 is a hormone in your body that regulates the effects of growth hormone (GH). IGF-1 and GH work together to promote normal bone and tissue growth. The amount of GH in your blood fluctuates throughout the day, depending on your diet and activity level. However, IGF-1 levels remain stable. As a result, an IGF-1 test can help you determine whether your body produces a normal amount of GH.
