Hormone Dysfunction in TBI
Traumatic Brain Injuries, also known as TBI,
can devastate a persons life in more ways than one. Often
resulting in permanent neurological deficits, TBIs can also lead
to changes in brain chemistry and hormone metabolism.
Because of the unique and delicate structure of the
Hypothalamic-Pituitary axis, communication pathways between
these two critics areas of the brain can result in disruption of
hormone feedback mechanisms, thus changing a persons hormones
balance. The overall health of a person relies heavily on the
neuroendocrine systems. Disrupted feedback loops can result in
problems with thyroid, stress, and sex hormones.
