endokriinselt

Endokriinselt is a term used mainly in Swedish-language contexts to denote something pertaining to the endocrine system. It describes processes, signals, or characteristics related to hormone-producing glands and the regulation of metabolism, growth, and homeostasis. In English, the concept is usually expressed with terms such as endocrine, hormonal, or endocrine-related.

Etymology and scope: The word appears to derive from endokrin- plus a suffix form that marks an adjectival or adverbial usage in Swedish. It does not have a widely recognized standing in international scientific vocabulary, and its precise boundaries can vary by author.

Usage and nuance: Endokriinselt is most likely to be found in Swedish scientific literature, textbooks, or journalism discussing hormonal control, endocrine disorders, or related research. It is not a standard term in English-language sources, where writers would typically use "endocrine" instead.
