Metabolic Regulators

Meaning

Metabolic Regulators are the endogenous signaling molecules, predominantly hormones like insulin, glucagon, and cortisol, that govern the rate, direction, and storage capacity of energy substrates within the body’s tissues. These regulators maintain energy homeostasis by responding dynamically to nutritional intake and physical demand. Imbalances in these regulators directly impact body composition and vitality.
