Exogenous Hormone Impact

Meaning

This phrase describes the systemic physiological and endocrine consequences that result from the administration of hormones originating from an external source, such as pharmaceutical preparations. The impact encompasses both the intended therapeutic effects on target tissues and the unintended alterations to the body’s native hormonal production, metabolism, and feedback loops. Understanding this impact is fundamental to clinical endocrinology and personalized hormone replacement strategies.
