Androgenic Cohort Secretion Patterns

Meaning

Androgenic Cohort Secretion Patterns describe the characteristic temporal release profile of a group of related androgenic steroid hormones, including testosterone, DHEA, and androstenedione, from their respective endocrine glands. This is a dynamic assessment that goes beyond simple total levels, evaluating the rhythm, pulse amplitude, and synchronicity of these secretions over a 24-hour cycle. Understanding these dynamic patterns provides superior clinical insight into the functional status of the HPG and HPA axes. Deviations often signify underlying neuroendocrine dysregulation.
