Description
This textbook of basic endocrinology has been used in medical schools as well as graduate and undergraduate programmes. It covers not only physiology, but anatomy, biochemistry, and cell and molecular biology. It provides an account of basic endocrine function with pathophysiological and clinical correlations. A new chapter on "Cytokines and Immune-Endocrine Interactions" has been added to this edition and the chapter on growth has been rewritten. The other chapters have been updated and 25 figures have been added.
