Gonadal Hormone Crosstalk

Meaning

Gonadal Hormone Crosstalk describes the complex, bidirectional communication and regulatory influence between the sex hormones produced by the gonads (testosterone, estrogen, progesterone) and other endocrine systems. This intricate signaling network extends beyond reproductive function, impacting metabolic health, bone density, and neurocognitive performance. Understanding this crosstalk is crucial for addressing systemic imbalances that emerge during peri-menopause, andropause, and other life stages.
