Hormone Receptor Resensitization

Meaning

Hormone Receptor Resensitization is the critical physiological process by which hormone receptors, which have become functionally diminished or downregulated due to prolonged and excessive stimulation, are restored to their normal density and high functional responsiveness. This cellular recovery is a crucial clinical goal, frequently facilitated by strategic therapeutic breaks or cycling protocols in hormone administration, such as those used with growth hormone secretagogues. The objective is to maximize the body’s long-term capacity to respond effectively to both endogenous and exogenous hormonal signals.
