Hormonal Release Timing

Meaning

Hormonal Release Timing refers to the precise, genetically and environmentally regulated temporal pattern of endocrine substance secretion from glandular tissues into the systemic circulation. This timing is not random but follows specific pulsatile, ultradian, and circadian rhythms that are essential for optimal target tissue response and overall homeostatic control. Deviations in this timing, even with normal total daily hormone output, can lead to significant clinical pathology due to receptor desensitization or metabolic misalignment.
