Cellular Stress Indicators

Meaning

Cellular stress indicators are measurable biochemical markers that reflect the level of damage, dysfunction, or heightened adaptive response occurring within the body’s cells. These indicators include, but are not limited to, elevated levels of reactive oxygen species, heat shock proteins, or altered ratios of specific metabolites. Monitoring these indicators provides a precise, early warning system for metabolic imbalance and chronic inflammatory states. High levels often signal a compromise in cellular resilience, directly impacting overall hormonal and metabolic health.
