Glandular Function

Meaning

Glandular Function refers to the specialized physiological activity of an endocrine or exocrine gland, encompassing the synthesis, storage, and controlled secretion of biologically active substances, such as hormones or enzymes. In the context of hormonal health, this term specifically denotes the operational efficiency of glands like the thyroid, adrenals, and gonads in maintaining systemic endocrine balance. Optimal glandular function is fundamental to metabolic stability, reproductive health, and stress response.
