ACTH RIA Test
Description:... mainly cortisol production, but also aldosterone and adrenal androgen synthesis. Decreased ACTH secretion can occur in a variety of pituitary and
hypothalamic disorders and in certain systemic infections. Elevated plasma levels are observed in patients with ACTH-secreting pituitary (Cushings disease) and ...

TSH ELISA Test
Description:... TSH secretion is stimulated by thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) which is secreted by the hypothalamus and is regulated at both the pituitary and
hypothalamic levels by thyroid hormones. Low levels of thyroid hormones lead to increased TSH secretion and elevated thyroid hormone levels lead to decreased TSH ...

TSH IRMA Test
Description:... TSH secretion is stimulated by thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) which is secreted by the hypothalamus and is regulated at both the pituitary and
hypothalamic levels by thyroid hormones. Low levels of thyroid hormones lead to increased TSH secretion and elevated thyroid hormone levels lead to decreased TSH ...

IGFBP-3 IRMA Test
Description:... than IGF-I [3]. These aspects of IGFBP-3 physiology allow its measurement to reflect GH activity. Thus, in GH deficiency of either pituitary or
hypothalamic origin, IGFBP-3 levels are uniformly low. Blum et al. [3] reported that 128/132 children with GH deficiency had serum IGFBP-3 concentrations below ...

hGH IRMA Test
Description:... in the anterior pituitary gland. GH is released from the pituitary into the bloodstream in a pulsatile manner under the regulatory control of
hypothalamic somatostatin (SS) and GH-releasing factor (GHRF) [1]. The timing and frequency of GH release appears to be regulated by somatostatin, while the ...

Human Growth Hormone (hGH)
Description:... of human growth hormone in serum. Growth Hormone (GH) is a polypeptide hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland under the control of
hypothalamic growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) and somatostatin, which stimulate and inhibit release, ....
