Hormonal Regulation

Meaning

Hormonal Regulation is the dynamic, active process ensuring that circulating concentrations of various endocrine signals are tightly controlled to maintain systemic equilibrium, known as homeostasis, within the body. This precise control dictates essential physiological functions ranging from glucose homeostasis to the timing of reproductive events. Accurate regulation prevents pathological states associated with either deficiency or excess of any particular signaling molecule throughout the system. It truly stands as the cornerstone of metabolic and overall physiological stability.
