Endocrine System Deceleration

Meaning

Endocrine System Deceleration refers to the age-related decline in the synthesis, secretion, and receptor sensitivity of key regulatory hormones, leading to a measurable decrease in systemic function and metabolic vigor. This physiological slowing impacts major axes, including the somatotropic (growth hormone), gonadal (sex steroids), and adrenal (cortisol) systems. Clinically, this deceleration manifests as reduced muscle mass, diminished bone density, impaired cognitive function, and an overall loss of resilience.
