| Abstract
|
:
|
"This textbook has been written primarily for undergraduate students of pharmacy, toxicology, and medicine who require a concise reference book on basic endocrine function and dysfunction. The book maintains a clear focus on key concepts throughout, which allows for the rapid and accurate retrieval of information necessary for exams." "Following an introductory chapter on the organization and function of the endocrine system and the concepts of feedback regulation of hormone release, subsequent chapters deal with the endocrine secretions of each major endocrine gland, focusing on the mechanisms controlling hormone release, the endocrine system and the concept of feedback regulation of hormone release, principal actions of the various hormones in the body and the clinically encountered endocrine disorders that can arise when those hormones are under or oversecreted (e.g., hyperthyroidism, Cushings syndrome and diabetes). The diagnosis and therapeutic management of these conditions is given particular emphasis. Names of drugs and pharmaceutical preparations used to treat endocrine diseases, based on information given in current drug formularies and recent articles/reviews are also included throughout."--BOOK JACKET.
