Endocrine feedback loops

Endocrine feedback loops are the body's way of maintaining hormone balance. When a hormone level rises or falls, sensors in the body detect this change and send signals to the brain or glands. These signals adjust hormone production accordingly, either increasing or decreasing it. For example, if blood sugar is high, the pancreas releases insulin to lower it; once normal, insulin release slows down. This feedback system keeps hormones in a healthy range, ensuring the body's processes function smoothly without overproduction or deficiency.
