Hormonal Kinetic Curves

Meaning

Hormonal Kinetic Curves are graphical representations illustrating the time-dependent changes in the concentration of specific hormones within the systemic circulation or at target tissues following a stimulus, intervention, or across a natural physiological cycle. These curves provide critical clinical data on the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) profile of endogenous or exogenous hormonal compounds. Analyzing the shape, peak concentration, and half-life of these curves is essential for precise therapeutic dosing and understanding the dynamic nature of endocrine regulation. They represent the temporal signature of hormonal activity.
