It presents essential as well as in-depth information of value to both medical students and specialists in Endocrinology, Gynecology, Pediatrics, and Internal Medicine. Although it is well established that the endocrine system regulates essential functions involved in growth, reproduction, and homeostasis, it is increasingly being recognized that this complex regulatory system comprises not only hormones secreted by the classic endocrine glands but also hormones and regulatory factors produced by many organs, and involves extensive crosstalk with the neural and immune system. At the same time, our knowledge of the molecular basis of hormone action has greatly improved. Understanding this complexity of endocrine physiology is crucial to prevent endocrine disorders, to improve the sensitivity of our diagnostic tools, and to provide the rationale for pharmacological, immunological, or genetic interventions. It is such understanding that this book is designed to foster. 410 0$aEndocrinology,$x2510-1927 606 $aEndocrinology  606 $aEndocrinology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33053 615 0$aEndocrinology . 615 14$aEndocrinology. 676 $a573.4 702 $aBelfiore$b Antonino$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLeRoith$b Derek$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300296603321 996 $aPrinciples of Endocrinology and Hormone Action$91737656 997 $aUNINA
