Hormone Production

Meaning

Hormone Production is the process by which specialized endocrine cells synthesize and secrete chemical messengers, known as hormones, into the circulatory system in response to specific physiological stimuli. This encompasses the entire biosynthetic cascade, from precursor uptake to the final regulated release of the active molecule. Precise regulation of this production, governed by hierarchical feedback loops, is essential for maintaining systemic homeostasis. It is the fundamental output of the endocrine glands.
