In response to Anne Schulz, to whom my thanks for her agreement, I would use "functional" as "dysfunctional circuits" do exist (http://jnnp.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/full/76/6/852)

As circadian periodicity in locus
coeruleus activity is eliminated by lesions of the DMH, it
seems that the SCN →DMH →locus coeruleus pathway
is a physiologically functional circuit. Extract from Nature Reviews, August 2002. Thus the phrase does exist in its entirety. Just one of several hundred references
Peer comment(s):

agree Anne Schulz : IMO you don't even need to include "functional", as it is implied in "circuits".

neutral Dr Sue Levy (X) : I agree with Anne - circuit of endocrine function - the "functional" bit doesn't mean it's working properly, as opposed to "dysfunctional"

An after-thought after reading David Le Count's answer:
I haven't come across the term 'endocrine functional circuit(s)', but the term 'endocrine circuit(s)' is certainly known + googles well.
