Molecular Telecommunication Agents

Meaning

Molecular Telecommunication Agents is a sophisticated term used to collectively describe the diverse array of signaling molecules—including hormones, cytokines, and growth factors—that travel over significant distances within the body to communicate regulatory information between disparate tissues and organs. These agents are the body’s long-distance messengers, enabling the brain, fat tissue, muscle, and liver to coordinate their metabolic and physiological activities. They are crucial for systemic homeostasis, allowing for complex, integrated responses to environmental cues and internal metabolic states. The effectiveness of these agents is dependent on their concentration, receptor affinity, and clearance rate.
