Textbook of Endocrine Physiology

Textbook of Endocrine Physiology

by James E. Griffin (Editor), Sergio R. Ojeda (Editor)

Synopsis

This textbook of basic endocrinology has been used in medical schools as well as graduate and undergraduate programmes. It covers not only physiology, but anatomy, biochemistry, and cell and molecular biology. It provides an account of basic endocrine function with pathophysiological and clinical correlations. A new chapter on Cytokines and Immune-Endocrine Interactions has been added to this edition and the chapter on growth has been rewritten. The other chapters have been updated and 25 figures have been added.

Media Reviews
Praise for previous editions:
This new and cohesive offering for beginning medical students has a number of important attributes--brevity, accuracy, readability, minimal use of jargon, an absence of excessive enthusiasm for eponyms.... [This book] is an excellent and scholarly introduction to endocrinology...I give it the
highest marks over competing textbooks because of its systematic, concise, and accurate treatment of all major concepts. --The New England Journal of Medicine
It is generously illustrated by good-quality black and white drawings which have been well-chosen to complement the text. The standard of writing is generally very good and I found it easy to read. I would have no hesitation in recommending this book, not only to students, but also to
postgraduates--clinical and non-clinical--who want an accessible and up-to-date whistle-stop tour of endocrinology. --The Endocrinologist
The current research emphasis on molecular endocrinology is reflected appropriately in the revision and expansion of several sections. The expertise of the contributors in their field is evident throughout. --Experimental Physiology
