Detailed explanation-1: -A GH stimulation test is used to check for a GH deficiency. During the test: A health care professional will take a blood sample from a vein in your arm, using a small needle. After the needle is inserted, a small amount of blood will be collected into a test tube or vial.
Detailed explanation-2: -Exercise is a potent physiological stimulus for growth hormone (GH) secretion, and both aerobic and resistance exercise result in significant, acute increases in GH secretion.
Detailed explanation-3: -Insulin Tolerance Test The ITT has traditionally been accepted as the gold standard test for the assessment of adult GHD, with a GH cut-point of 3-5 g/L when adequate hypoglycemia (blood glucose < 40 mg/dL) is achieved (8, 16, 17).
Detailed explanation-4: -What is a Growth Hormone Test (Arginine / Clonidine Stimulation Test)? A growth hormone test is done to find out why a child is small or growing slowly. The test tells how much growth hormone a person’s body is making. This test is used to help diagnose growth hormone deficiency.
