Hormonal Adaptation Timeline

Meaning

The Hormonal Adaptation Timeline denotes the physiological process by which the endocrine system adjusts its function and responsiveness to sustained internal or external stimuli over time. This involves dynamic changes in hormone synthesis, receptor sensitivity, and feedback loop regulation to establish a new equilibrium or maintain stability under altered conditions. This adaptive capacity is fundamental to physiological resilience and the body’s long-term homeostatic control.
