Endocrine physiology explores hormone synthesis, secretion, and action, as well as their roles in regulating metabolism, growth, and reproduction. Hormonal imbalances underlie numerous medical conditions. This book introduces the principles of endocrine regulation, focusing on glands like the thyroid, adrenal glands, and pancreas. It discusses hormonal feedback loops, clinical disorders such as diabetes and hypothyroidism, and therapeutic strategies. Designed for medical students, it offers clear explanations, clinical correlations, and illustrative case studies.
