Pharmacokinetics of Signaling Molecules

Meaning

Pharmacokinetics of Signaling Molecules is the precise, quantitative study of how the body handles endogenous or exogenous compounds that function as chemical messengers, with a specific focus on their absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME). In the context of hormonal health, this discipline analyzes the time-course of hormones, hormone-like peptides, or pharmaceutical agents specifically designed to modulate the endocrine system. Understanding these kinetics is absolutely essential for determining the optimal dosing, frequency, and route of administration for all hormonal therapies.
