Acromegaly Whole Blood
Whole blood from donors with confirmed acromegaly. Useful for growth hormone/IGF-1 pathway biomarker studies and pituitary adenoma research.
Acromegaly Whole Blood for Research
Acromegaly results from chronic growth hormone excess, most often due to a pituitary adenoma, driving elevated IGF-1 and systemic tissue overgrowth.
