Performance Signaling Cascades

Meaning

Performance Signaling Cascades refer to the intricate, rapid sequences of intracellular molecular events that are activated by external stimuli, such as exercise, nutrient intake, or stress, and culminate in measurable physiological enhancements related to physical and cognitive function. These cascades involve the rapid phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of proteins, mediating the transition from a basal state to a state of high output and adaptation. Within the hormonal health context, these pathways are heavily regulated by anabolic and catabolic hormones, dictating the body’s capacity for muscle growth, energy utilization, and neural processing.
