Lipid Regulation

Meaning

Lipid Regulation is the complex physiological process encompassing the synthesis, transport, metabolism, and clearance of various lipids, including cholesterol, triglycerides, and phospholipids, essential for cellular structure and energy storage. Within the hormonal health space, effective lipid regulation is critical because lipids are the fundamental precursors for all steroid hormones, such as testosterone, estrogen, and cortisol. Dysregulation is a major clinical concern, contributing to cardiovascular risk and potentially disrupting the endocrine biosynthesis pathways. The liver and adipose tissue are central to maintaining this metabolic equilibrium.
