Biological Efficiency

Meaning

Biological Efficiency describes the metric of how effectively the body converts resources, such as nutrients and energy, into functional output, particularly concerning hormonal signaling and metabolic processes. A high degree of efficiency means that hormonal actions are achieved with minimal systemic burden or wasted energy expenditure. We assess this by examining substrate utilization rates and the fidelity of signal transduction pathways. Optimizing this efficiency is central to sustained wellness.
