Energy Regulation

Meaning

Energy Regulation is the complex, homeostatic process by which the human body precisely manages the intake, expenditure, and storage of metabolic energy. This critical function involves the coordinated action of multiple endocrine signals, including thyroid hormones, insulin, leptin, and ghrelin, which communicate the body’s energy status to the central nervous system. Effective regulation is essential for maintaining a stable body weight, temperature, and robust cellular function.
