Hormone-Mediated Regulation

Meaning

Hormone-Mediated Regulation is the pervasive physiological process by which chemical messengers, secreted by endocrine glands, govern and fine-tune virtually all systemic functions across the human body. This regulatory system controls complex processes including growth, metabolism, reproduction, mood, and stress response, acting through specific receptors on target cells. It represents the master communication network of human physiology.
