Exogenous Signaling Molecule Administration

Meaning

Exogenous Signaling Molecule Administration is the clinical practice of introducing biologically active compounds, such as hormones, peptides, or growth factors, that originate outside the body, with the explicit purpose of modulating endogenous physiological pathways. This strategy is employed to correct deficiencies, enhance specific biological functions, or bypass dysfunctional regulatory feedback loops within the endocrine system. The administration requires careful dosing and monitoring to ensure the desired therapeutic effect is achieved without suppressing native hormone production unnecessarily.
