Metabolic Endocrine Interplay

Meaning

The dynamic, reciprocal communication and functional integration between the body’s metabolic pathways, which govern energy balance, and the endocrine system, which regulates physiological processes through hormone signaling. This interplay ensures that nutrient availability and energy demands are continuously synchronized with the appropriate hormonal responses, such as insulin, thyroid hormones, and leptin. Dysfunction in this communication underlies many chronic diseases.
