| PRODUCT NAME: | AccuBind Growth hormone (hGH) |
| INTENDED USE: | The quantitative determination of Growth Hormone concentration in human serum by a Microplate Immunoenzymometric assay. |
| PRODUCT OVERVIEW: | Growth hormone (hGH, somatotropin), is secreted from the anterior pituitary, exerts its effect directly on target organs such as bones and muscles and indirectly through the release of somatomedins. The clinical usefulness of the measurement of growth hormone (GH) in children has been well established in ascertaining linear bone growth along the epiphyseal plate. Abnormally elevated levels lead to gigantism while complete absence slows the rate of growth one-third to one-half of normal. |
