Regulatory Architecture

Meaning

Regulatory Architecture is a conceptual term in endocrinology that describes the complex, hierarchical, and interconnected organizational structure of the body’s control systems, primarily encompassing the nervous and endocrine systems. This architecture includes the various axes, such as the HPA and HPG axes, feedback loops, and receptor networks that govern all physiological processes. Understanding this architecture is fundamental to diagnosing systemic dysregulation and designing targeted therapies.
