Hormonal Temperature Regulation

Meaning

Hormonal Temperature Regulation is the essential physiological process by which the endocrine system actively contributes to maintaining the body’s core temperature within a narrow, non-negotiable homeostatic range. This complex regulation involves the precise, coordinated action of various hormones that modulate the basal metabolic rate, stimulate heat production known as thermogenesis, and control heat dissipation mechanisms. Thyroid hormones are central endocrine players, profoundly influencing cellular energy expenditure across the entire body.
