Synopsis

This textbook covers knowledge in the endocrine sciences. Each chapter is structured to cover both established concepts and newer developments. The chapters blend basic science with essential elements of clinical knowledge in order to give students an appreciation of the consequences of deranged endocrine function. This 4th Edition presents the latest advances in energy metabolism, obesity and the control of appetite, interactions between the immune and endocrine systmes and their implication for tumor growth, hypothalamic peptides involved in the regulation of pituitary function, fluid and electrolyte balance, hormones of the heart and brain and the series of factors that regulate gonadal, adrenal and thyroid development and function. The two chapters on the rapidly evolving fields of genes and hormones and sexual differentiation have been completely rewritten by new authors. This book is intended for medical students taking physiology and advanced undergraduate students taking physiology and basic endocrinology courses.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This widely used text provides a thoroughly updated account of current knowledge of endocrinology. Each chapter is structured to cover both established concepts and recent developments. The chapters blend basic science with essential elements of clinical knowledge in order to give students an appreciation of the consequences of deranged endocrine function. The Fifth Edition features completely revised chapters on cytokines and immune-endocrine interactions, the adrenal glands, and calcium homeostasis. Many of the illustrations throughout the book are new or have been significantly revised to complement the revised text. Fresh examples have also been included so that each chapter continues to show clearly the clinical consequences of deranged endocrine function. Much new scientific information has been added on such topics as the nongeonomic actions of steroid hormones, relaxin receptors, inhibin B, steroid regulating element-binding proteins, IGF-binding proteins, transcriptional regulation of the developing adipocyte, and the regulation of food intake and body weight.

Revue de presse

It remains a solid text book of endocrinology written in a solid, no-nonsense style. (Spring 2005 )
