From the Back Cover

For this new edition of Conn & Melmed's Endocrinology: Basic and Clinical Principles, a panel of distinguished scientists and clinicians has completely rewritten every chapter to reflect the latest advances in our understanding of the endocrine system. Maintaining the original goal of the first edition to integrate the basic science of endocrinology with its physiological and clinical principles, the authors have succinctly summarized in 450 pages the latest findings on hormone secretion and hormone action, as well as all of the most recent insights into the physiology and pathophysiology of hormonal disorders. Coverage extends across the entire spectrum of endocrinology-from mammalian cells, plants, and insects to animal models and human diseases-with much increased coverage of diabetes and metabolism. Highlights include cutting-edge discussions of appetite disorders, obesity, reproductive failure, control of thyroid function, hormone action in humans and the lower species, and the mechanisms subserving hormone secretion. Concise yet comprehensive, Endocrinology: Basic and Clinical Principles, Second Edition offers students, clinicians, and scientists access to the entire spectrum of endocrinological knowledge, authoritatively illuminating the basic scientific principles underlying every aspect of hormone secretion and action, and leading the reader towards a full understanding of the pathogenesis and management of human endocrine disease.
