Hormonal Biomarker Granularity

Meaning

The degree of fine detail and precision captured in the measurement and temporal resolution of endocrine markers, encompassing not only the specific analyte concentration but also its metabolites, carrier protein binding, and dynamic pulsatility across a twenty-four-hour cycle. High granularity provides a more accurate, nuanced reflection of true endocrine function and target tissue exposure than single, total hormone measurements. This precision is essential for effective clinical translation.
