Anabolic Hormone Deficiency

Meaning

This clinical state represents a measurable reduction in the circulating levels of hormones primarily responsible for promoting tissue growth and cellular repair, such as testosterone, growth hormone, and DHEA. The deficiency disrupts the body’s essential balance between anabolism (building up) and catabolism (breaking down). This hormonal imbalance can manifest in various clinical presentations, including loss of lean muscle mass, decreased bone mineral density, and compromised metabolic function. Timely endocrinological assessment is crucial for identifying and addressing this underlying physiological deficit.
