Preface
This third edition of Endocrine Physiology provides
comprehensive
coverage of the
fundamental concepts of hormone biological action. The
content has been
revised
and edited to enhance clarity and understanding mostly
based on comments
and
questions received from medical students. In addition, the test
questions at the
end of the chapter have been modified to reflect clinical
scenarios that
require
the integration of the endocrine physiology concepts
presented in the
respective
chapter. New figures have been added to enhance the
understanding of
important
endocrine physiology concepts.
The concepts herein provide the basis by which first and
second year
medical
students will better grasp the physiologic mechanisms
involved in
neuroendocrine
regulation of organ function. The information presented is
also meant to
