Body Temperature Regulation

Meaning

Body Temperature Regulation is the physiological process maintained primarily by the hypothalamus to keep the core body temperature within a narrow, optimal range necessary for enzymatic function and metabolic efficiency. In the context of hormonal health, temperature stability is paramount because fluctuations can directly impact thyroid hormone activity and the release kinetics of other endocrine signals. Consistent core temperature supports optimal sleep architecture, which in turn governs nocturnal hormone pulses. We seek thermal equilibrium to ensure precise endocrine signaling.
