Abstract:
"This revision of the classic textbook in endocrinology, Hadley's Endocrinology, offers all of the benefits of previous editions, including clear and authoritative explanations of basic concepts, interesting examples and applications, and detailed coverage of vertebrate hormones. A particular focus is placed on the critical roles of glands, hormones, receptors, and molecular signaling pathways in the control of physiological processes."
