Title: Basic & clinical endocrinology
Description: Basic & Clinical Endocrinology, fourth edition superbly reviews contributions of molecular biology to endocrinology and the practical implications of these advances. An entirely new chapter on "General Concepts of Endocrinology" summarizes hormone actions and in enactions and their molecular basis. Every chapter includes advances in molecular biology and the diagnosis and management of the various syndromes. This accessible text is a thorough overview of all aspects of endocrinology. Features: summarizes molecular mechanisms in synthesis, secretion, and action of hormones; individual endocrine syndrome chapters analyze current diagnostic methods; combines basic pathophysiology with practical clinical applications; contributions by leading physician-researchers; abundantly illustrated; and useful appendix of normal values for endocrine tests in both conventional and SI units.
