Hormone Receptor Downregulation Mitigation

Meaning

Hormone Receptor Downregulation Mitigation is the clinical strategy focused on preventing or reversing the decrease in the number or sensitivity of specific hormone receptors on the surface or within target cells. This reduction, known as downregulation, leads to cellular resistance, diminishing the effectiveness of circulating hormones and creating a state of functional deficiency despite adequate hormone levels. Successful mitigation is essential for restoring robust hormonal signaling and maximizing the therapeutic impact of any endocrine intervention. It is a key element in maintaining youthful cellular responsiveness.
