Endocrinology is one of the most fascinating fields of physiology that

is playing an important role in human health and welfare. The book

will stimulate the interest of young students and kindle in them a

desire to read more intensively since it contains every aspect of

hormonal coordination in the human body. The integration of cell

signalling pathways, involvement of receptors in signal transduction,

every aspect of endocrine glands with their dysfunctions, feedback

loops and role of hormones in pharmaceutical industry-all these facts

of endocrinology are incorporated in a comprehensive form.

The book has been presented in a simple form with appropriate

figures that would appeal to the undergraduate and postgraduate

laboratory evaluation, related symptoms, and illustrations based on a

combination of quality and adequacy are significant markers of this
