Receptor Sensitivity Adjustments

Meaning

Receptor Sensitivity Adjustments are clinical strategies focused on modulating the responsiveness of cellular hormone receptors to circulating endocrine signals, rather than merely increasing the concentration of the hormones themselves. This is a sophisticated approach to hormonal health, recognizing that the efficiency of hormone action is often limited by receptor down-regulation or desensitization, particularly in states of chronic hyperstimulation or inflammation. The objective is to enhance the cell’s intrinsic capacity to receive and transduce hormonal messages effectively.
