Functional Endocrinology Metrics are quantifiable assessments designed to capture the dynamic efficacy and operational status of endocrine axes, moving beyond static concentration values.
Origin
This approach developed as clinical practice recognized that the timing and responsiveness of hormone release are more indicative of health than singular measurements.
Mechanism
These metrics often rely on time-resolved sampling or dynamic challenge tests, such as insulin tolerance tests, to reveal feedback loop integrity and receptor performance.
