Neuroendocrine-Metabolic System

Meaning

The Neuroendocrine-Metabolic System is a unified conceptual framework describing the intricate and highly interconnected network that integrates the nervous system, the endocrine system, and the body’s metabolic pathways. This system acts as the master regulator of energy balance, growth, reproduction, and the stress response, utilizing hormones, neurotransmitters, and circulating metabolites as signaling molecules. A harmonious function of this triad is essential for maintaining systemic homeostasis. Its dysregulation underlies numerous chronic conditions, including obesity, diabetes, and reproductive disorders.
