GlossaryHormone Metabolism

processes by which body produces, modifies, and breaks down hormones

Hormone metabolism refers to the processes by which the body produces, modifies, and breaks down hormones. These biochemical pathways ensure that hormone levels are regulated, allowing them to effectively control various physiological functions such as growth, metabolism, and mood. For example, the liver and kidneys play crucial roles in metabolizing hormones, converting them into active or inactive forms, and eventually excreting them from the body.
