Entropic Secretion Patterns

Meaning

Entropic secretion patterns are the scientific description of hormonal release profiles that exhibit increased randomness, decreased amplitude, and loss of the characteristic temporal organization, such as circadian or ultradian pulsatility. This disorganization is often observed in states of chronic disease or advanced biological aging, signifying a breakdown in the finely tuned communication necessary for metabolic and homeostatic control. Clinically, this pattern signifies a failure to maintain the highly ordered rhythms of the neuroendocrine axes.
