Endocrine Regulation

Meaning

Endocrine regulation describes the intricate, dynamic process by which the endocrine system controls the concentration and action of hormones within the body to maintain physiological homeostasis. This sophisticated system involves a continuous loop of synthesis, secretion, transport, receptor binding, and eventual degradation of hormones, ensuring appropriate cellular responses across various organ systems. Effective endocrine regulation is fundamental to sustaining metabolic health, reproduction, growth, and stress response.
