Endogenous Regulators

Meaning

Endogenous regulators are the naturally occurring, biologically active substances synthesized and secreted entirely within the human body that exert precise control over a vast array of physiological and biochemical processes. This essential category encompasses all hormones, neuropeptides, local growth factors, and cytokines that function as intricate signaling molecules to maintain systemic homeostasis, modulate cellular proliferation, and coordinate complex metabolic function. They are the body’s internal, genetically programmed orchestrators of health, adaptation, and biological aging.
