hormonivasteen
Hormonivasteen (the hormonal response) refers to the physiological changes triggered by hormonal signaling. It encompasses the sequence from hormone release and transport in the bloodstream to receptor binding and the cellular effects that follow. The term is used in Finnish physiology and endocrinology to describe how hormones regulate metabolism, growth, reproduction, and homeostasis.
Hormones travel to target tissues and bind to specific receptors. Receptors may reside on the cell surface
Outcomes of the hormonivasteen can be rapid, altering cell behavior in seconds to minutes, or slow, changing
Regulation and termination are essential features of the hormonal response. Hormone levels decline, receptors may become
Examples include insulin signaling to promote glucose uptake, adrenaline triggering increased heart rate and energy readiness,
