Hormonal Amplitude

Meaning

Hormonal Amplitude refers to the specific magnitude or peak concentration reached by a given hormone during its characteristic pulsatile or cyclical release pattern. This metric represents a key component of overall hormonal kinetics, distinct from the less informative mean concentration, as it directly reflects the intensity and potency of the endocrine signal delivered to the target tissues. Clinically, a measurable reduction in this amplitude often signals a decline in the functional reserve or the central sensitivity of the endocrine gland, significantly impacting overall biological efficacy.
