This book will present readers with a general as well as an advanced overview of the essential trends in endocrine disorders. Apart from covering a variety of topics including thyroid carcinogenesis and pituitary adenomas, this book also discusses more specific issues which have not yet been fully elucidated. These include molecular pathways involved in thyrotropin beta gene regulation or monogenic phosphate balance disorders. This book will provide an opportunity to readers from distinct backgrounds to attain knowledge and clarify areas of uncertainty and controversies in several topics of...

This book will provide an opportunity to readers from distinct backgrounds to attain knowledge and clarify areas of uncertainty and controversies in several topics of endocrine...

The state-of-the-art therapies in the field of endocrinology are discussed in this book. Over the past two decades, evidence of growing trends of various endocrine-related disorders has strengthened. The reason for these disorders is mostly unclear endocrine disruption or/and lack of uniform diagnosis. Unclear endocrine disruption is primarily because of unusual classical changes in the blood-released hormone to its targeted organ, abnormal contact between cells within a tissue or organ (paracrine), within the same cell (intracrine) or signals which act on the same cell (autocrine). These...

Written by experienced and internationally renowned contributors, this book elucidates the different aspects of endocrinology. It presents current knowledge about the fundamental and clinical features of endocrinology. The book offers students and experts an analysis of current endocrine research and its clinical applications. It examines the endocrine functions of the kidneys and how the kidney acts as a target for hormones from other organ structures. This book intends to present well conducted researches for its readers.

The endocrine system is described as the group of glands of an organism which secrete hormones directly into the circulatory system for their transportation to a distant target organ. This book comprises of a number of important topics on endocrine and hormone-related pathologies, reviewed by reputed scientists and clinicians from various countries around the world. It focuses on the current trends in the area, such as neuroendocrine and pituitary tumours, thyroid dysfunctions, diabetes and a host of endocrine-related diseases, like those linked to the anabolic effects of testosterone,...

The aim of this book is to present significant topics in neuroendocrinology. The comprehension of the neuroendocrine system presents an insight into a broad spectrum of bodily and mental processes. This book serves as a brief guide encompassing updated information regarding the function of the endocrine glands and organs in relation with neuropeptides, neurotransmitters, and behavioral manifestations. Several distinct forms of stress response, for example cognitive changes and anxiety, have been intrinsic to other species as well as to us. These mechanisms particularly involve intricate...
