Description
This text integrates the morphology, physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology and clinical study of the endocrine system, and shows how an understanding of the scientific basis of endocrinology helps to explain the consequences of endocrine disease and the rationale of its treatment. In this edition the impact of modern microbiology and particularly monoclonal antibodies, has been reflected in an extensive revision of the first chapter which concerns hormone action. In addition, many new illustrations have been included.
