Anti-Catabolic Signaling Dominance

Meaning

Anti-Catabolic Signaling Dominance is a physiological state where the cellular and systemic signals promoting tissue breakdown, known as catabolism, are effectively suppressed or outweighed by signals that preserve and build tissue, known as anabolism. In the context of hormonal health, this refers to a favorable endocrine environment that minimizes the degradation of muscle, bone, and connective tissue. Achieving this dominance is critical for maintaining physical structure and metabolic health, particularly under conditions of stress or aging. This state is a clinical goal for promoting longevity.
