Endocrine Signature

Meaning

An endocrine signature is the unique, measurable pattern of circulating hormone levels, their metabolites, and key regulatory factors that collectively define an individual’s current hormonal status and physiological state. This signature provides a comprehensive, multidimensional assessment, moving beyond the measurement of a single hormone to analyze the functional interrelationships between the various neuroendocrine axes. Clinically, identifying a patient’s endocrine signature is invaluable for personalized medicine, allowing for the precise correlation of symptoms with specific, underlying hormonal dysregulations. This holistic snapshot guides the development of highly targeted and effective therapeutic interventions.
