Biological Signal Clearance

Meaning

Biological Signal Clearance refers to the essential physiological process by which the body actively metabolizes, inactivates, and eliminates circulating signaling molecules, including hormones and neurotransmitters, from the bloodstream. This clearance mechanism is fundamental for ensuring that biological signals are transient and precisely timed, preventing continuous receptor stimulation. The efficiency of this process is a direct measure of metabolic health and endocrine regulatory capacity. Impaired clearance can lead to chronic overstimulation or accumulation of active metabolites.
