Autoregulation Feedback Integrity

Meaning

Autoregulation Feedback Integrity refers to the robust, precise functioning of the negative and positive feedback loops within the neuroendocrine system, which are essential for maintaining hormonal homeostasis. This integrity is the system’s capacity to accurately monitor circulating hormone levels and adjust the release of upstream releasing and stimulating hormones accordingly. A system with high integrity maintains metabolic stability and avoids the over- or under-production that characterizes endocrine dysfunction. This is a core concept in clinical endocrinology, signifying the health of the body’s internal, self-correcting regulatory mechanisms.
