Physiological Checkpoints

Meaning

Physiological Checkpoints are defined as the specific, measurable points within the body’s homeostatic and metabolic pathways that act as critical regulatory junctures, determining the progression or halt of a cellular or systemic process. In clinical practice, these are key biomarkers or functional tests that provide actionable information about the state of health, such as insulin sensitivity, specific hormone ratios, or inflammatory markers. Monitoring these checkpoints allows for precise, timely therapeutic intervention.
