Neuroendocrine Feedback Integrity

Meaning

Neuroendocrine Feedback Integrity is the optimal functional status of the reciprocal communication loops between the central nervous system and the peripheral endocrine system, which is absolutely essential for maintaining systemic homeostasis and adaptive capacity. Integrity implies that the central nervous system accurately monitors peripheral hormone levels and adjusts the release of regulatory hormones accordingly, without blunting or inappropriate signaling. Loss of this integrity is a core mechanism underlying many age-related and stress-induced hormonal disorders.
