Sex Steroid Homeostasis

Meaning

Sex Steroid Homeostasis is the physiological state of dynamic equilibrium in the synthesis, circulation, cellular action, and eventual metabolism of the primary sex hormones, which include testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone. Maintaining this precise balance is fundamentally critical for reproductive health, bone mineral density, cardiovascular function, and stable mood regulation across the entire lifespan. Clinical intervention in hormonal health is largely focused on restoring and maintaining this essential systemic balance.
