DESCRIPTION:
Much new scientific information has been added on such topics as the nongeonomic actions of steroid hormones, relaxin receptors, inhibin B, steroid regulating element-binding proteins, IGF-binding proteins, transcriptional regulation of the developing adipocyte, and the regulation of food intake and body weight.. Each chapter is structured to cover both established concepts and recent developments. This widely used text provides a thoroughly updated account of current knowledge in the endocrine sciences. Fresh examples have also been included so that each chapter continues to show clearly the clinical consequences of deranged endoc

CardinalNest said Do not waste your money!. I used this book for a graduate level endocrine physiology course. This is one of those books that put you to sleep after reading 1 page. It's written by several authors each with a different style. The diagrams and drawings are sloppy to say the least (very cartoonistic) and they seem as if they were made in a hurry. There are many other books in the subject that are far better. Andrea Stephenson said Solid.. This book covers the endocrine system in a completely acceptable manner.

I borrowed this book, that was cherished by that person, and I spilled stuff on it. Surprisingly, I found an exact (perfect)copy; when I received the book, it was as the distributor said immaculate! But, for the book itself, I can't be of any help.
From reviews of previous editions"This text succeeds in providing excellent, very readable coverage of the field of endocrinology. The consistent clearness of writing is commendable. This text can be highly recommended for graduate level courses and for medical students beyond the first year.""the expertise of the contributors in their fields is evident throughout, and the approach and level of detail are appropriate in the UK for second-year preclinical students, for those studying endocrine options, and for those in clinical years needing to refresh and apply their knowledge of physiology."--Experimental Physiology"In summary, this textbook incorporates modern
