Dear Colleagues,
The role of biological regulators and homeostatic agents in maintaining health, preventing neurological and hormonal disorders is essential for the body to properly function. Biological regulators are molecules that act as messengers between cells, tissues, organs, and systems to maintain homeostasis. Homeostatic agents are substances that help to regulate body’s internal environment. They help to maintain a balanced state in the body by controlling various physiological processes, such as temperature, pH, osmotic pressure, and ion concentrations. Hormones are chemical messengers which control many functions in the body such as growth, metabolism, reproduction, and stress response. Neurotransmitters are chemicals released by neurons that transmit signals between nerve cells. Both, hormones and neurotransmitters, play an important role in regulating moods, emotions, behavior, and cognitive functions. These regulators control the production and release of hormones, neurotransmitters, and other physiological chemicals. When these regulators are imbalanced, they can lead to various neurological and hormonal disorders. For example, an imbalance in hormones can cause conditions such as depression, anxiety, and insomnia. Neurotransmitter imbalances can lead to conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and epilepsy. Biological regulators also control the body’s response to physical or emotional trauma stressors. Imbalances in these regulators can lead to conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Understanding the role of biological regulators in neurological and hormonal disorders is crucial to better understand how to treat these different disorders effectively.
