Metabolic Syndrome Hormones

Meaning

Metabolic Syndrome Hormones refers to the collective group of endocrine messengers, including insulin, adiponectin, leptin, and cortisol, whose systemic dysregulation is fundamentally central to the complex pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome. This condition is not merely a cluster of risk factors but a disorder of energy homeostasis and hormonal signaling that links visceral obesity to cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Clinical management necessitates addressing the underlying hormonal imbalances rather than treating symptoms in isolation. The interplay of these hormones drives the progression of the syndrome.
