Somatostatin
Somatostatin is a hormone that regulates growth hormone, insulin, and nutrient absorption. Testing is typically ordered to investigate hormonal imbalances, gastrointestinal symptoms, or suspected neuroendocrine tumors—not routinely for general health screening.
Somatostatin has limited direct relevance to athletic performance or training monitoring in healthy athletes. It may be considered if an athlete has unexplained growth delays, severe digestive issues, or suspected metabolic disorders affecting nutrient absorption and recovery.
