Chemical Fidelity

Meaning

Chemical Fidelity, in the context of hormonal health, refers to the precise, accurate, and stable structure of endogenous signaling molecules, their appropriate concentration, and the integrity of their receptor binding sites. It emphasizes the absolute requirement for hormones and neurotransmitters to be chemically correct and present in the correct ratios for optimal biological signaling. Compromised fidelity, such as structural modification or degradation of a hormone, leads to aberrant signaling and subsequent systemic dysfunction. Maintaining this fidelity is crucial for the endocrine system’s precise communication.
