Endogenous Synthesis

Meaning

Endogenous synthesis describes the innate, highly regulated biological process by which a substance, such as a critical hormone or neurotransmitter, is manufactured internally within the specialized cells and tissues of the human organism. This fundamental physiological process is subject to intricate, negative feedback control mechanisms operating throughout the endocrine system. The body’s capacity for endogenous synthesis is a direct determinant of its ability to maintain self-sufficiency and achieve optimal hormonal concentrations. Clinical hormonal deficiencies are frequently traced back to a disruption in this crucial internal production pathway.
