Hormonal Traffic Control

Meaning

Hormonal Traffic Control is an integrative concept describing the complex regulatory network that manages the synthesis, transport, activation, and clearance of hormones across various endocrine systems. This control ensures that hormone signaling is delivered appropriately in terms of timing, concentration, and tissue specificity to maintain systemic balance. It encompasses the hierarchical relationships between the central nervous system, the pituitary, and peripheral endocrine glands. Effective traffic control is essential for metabolic stability, reproduction, and stress adaptation.
