Endogenous Hormone Release

Meaning

The natural synthesis and secretion of hormones by the body’s own endocrine glands in response to physiological stimuli. This intrinsic process is meticulously governed by complex neuroendocrine feedback loops, such as the hypothalamic-pituitary-target organ axes. The precise pulsatile and circadian rhythms of endogenous release are crucial for maintaining systemic homeostasis and optimal cellular function.
