Immunomodulatory Agents

Meaning

Immunomodulatory Agents are compounds or substances administered to specifically alter the host’s immune response, either suppressing an overactive response or enhancing a deficient one. Within hormonal science, these agents are often considered when chronic inflammation or autoimmune processes disrupt endocrine gland function. Their meaning lies in their ability to rebalance the complex crosstalk between the immune and endocrine systems. This targeted action is crucial for managing endocrine autoimmunity.
