HPG Axis Feedback Loop

Meaning

The HPG Axis Feedback Loop is the intricate, self-regulating circuit involving the Hypothalamus, Pituitary gland, and Gonads that governs reproductive function and sex steroid production in both males and females. This mechanism ensures that hormonal levels are maintained within a narrow physiological range, responding dynamically to both internal and external cues. It represents a classic example of endocrine homeostasis essential for fertility and overall hormonal balance.
