Injury Repair

Meaning

Injury Repair, within the context of hormonal science, describes the complex, orchestrated physiological response mediated by systemic and local endocrine factors to restore tissue integrity following physical trauma or damage. Growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), and androgens play pivotal roles in regulating the proliferative and remodeling phases of wound healing. Clinically, assessing the patient’s hormonal milieu is important because deficiencies can significantly impair the speed and completeness of tissue regeneration. We observe that robust endocrine status supports efficient matrix deposition and cellular repair.
