Gonadal Axis Signaling Integrity

Meaning

Gonadal Axis Signaling Integrity refers to the optimal, uncompromised function and communication within the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal (HPG) axis, the primary neuroendocrine pathway responsible for regulating reproductive and sexual hormone production. Integrity implies a flawless, synchronous flow of signals—Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)—and the corresponding gonadal steroid feedback loops. Clinical assessment of this integrity is essential for diagnosing and managing issues related to fertility, libido, and age-related hormonal decline.
