Neuroendocrine Imbalance

Meaning

Neuroendocrine Imbalance is a state of dysfunction or dysregulation within the intricate neuroendocrine system, characterized by inappropriate, non-homeostatic signaling between the central nervous system and the peripheral endocrine glands. This disruption frequently involves the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis or the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal (HPG) axis, resulting in abnormal secretion patterns of critical hormones such as cortisol, thyroid hormones, or sex steroids. Such an imbalance is the underlying pathology for a wide array of clinical presentations, including chronic fatigue, stress disorders, and reproductive dysfunction.
