Liver Synthesis

Meaning

Liver Synthesis refers to the extensive array of metabolic and biosynthetic processes performed by the hepatocytes within the liver, resulting in the creation of numerous vital substances necessary for systemic function. In the context of hormonal health, this includes the synthesis of critical hormone precursors, binding proteins like Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG), and growth factors such as Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1). The liver’s synthetic capacity is a central determinant of circulating hormone availability and action.
