Anabolic Hormone Pulsing

Meaning

Anabolic hormone pulsing refers to the natural, episodic, and high-amplitude release of anabolic hormones, such as Growth Hormone or Testosterone, in discrete bursts rather than a steady, continuous infusion. This pulsatile secretion pattern is a fundamental characteristic of a healthy endocrine system, maximizing the hormones’ biological effect on target tissues while preventing the desensitization of their specific receptors. Clinically, understanding and supporting this natural rhythm is crucial for optimizing protein synthesis, tissue repair, and the maintenance of skeletal and muscular integrity.
