Synopsis :

Hadley provides an comprehensive coverage of endocrinology, centralizing on the critical roles of chemical messengers and hormones―whether they are of endocrine or neural origin―in the control of physiological processes. This up-t o-date Fourth Edition depicts, through demonstration, the entire human endocrine system in examples designed specifically for premedical and related professional courses. Hadley examines several recently discovered hormones―including their origin , biosynthesis, chemistry, secretion, circulation and metabolism, physiological roles, control of secretion, mechanisms of action and pathophysiology.

Quatrième de couverture:

The dopaminergic neuron depicted on the front cover of the book has been treated in vitro with GDNF (glial cell line-derived neurotropic factor). Compared to control (nontreated) cells (back cover), the cell has become more dendritic. The deeper red color also indicates that it makes more of a key enzyme for dopamine biosynthesis. GDNF may hold promise in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. (Photographs courtesy of Lin et al., Synergen, Inc.)

The fifth edition of the most widely used college text of endocrinology has been extensively revised to provide the most up-to-date information available in the field of endocrine physiology. The book presents in-depth discussions of the vertebrate hormones provided in the following logical and meaningful manner.

• introduction (historical perspective)
• biosynthesis
• chemistry
• circulation and metabolism
• physiological roles
• control of secretion
• mechanisms of action
• pathophysiology
• comparative endocrinology

Many new figures have been provided that help convey concepts to the reader in a most information manner.
