Hormone Axis Modulation

Meaning

Hormone Axis Modulation is the clinical strategy of deliberately adjusting the activity and output of a specific neuroendocrine axis, such as the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) or hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. This process utilizes targeted interventions to influence the complex cascade of releasing hormones, stimulating hormones, and end-organ hormones to achieve a desired physiological effect. The goal is to optimize the entire regulatory feedback loop rather than merely treating a single hormone level.
