GROWTH HORMONE STIMULATION TEST FOR L DOPA, SERUM
The Growth Hormone Stimulation Test using L-Dopa is performed to evaluate the pituitary gland's ability to release growth hormone (GH) in response to stimulation. L-Dopa, a precursor to dopamine, indirectly stimulates the hypothalamus to release Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone (GHRH), which triggers the secretion of GH by the anterior pituitary.
