Riassunto

Master concepts rather than just memorize facts!

This concise and readable reference not only explains the basic clinical science and anatomy behind endocrine function -- it also relates endocrine physiology to states of health and disease.

• Topics covered will be tested on USMLE Step 1
• Each chapter includes self-study questions, learning objectives, and clinical examples
• Two important areas have been updated: the first pertains to hormonal regulation of bone metabolism and the second to hormonal aspects of obesity and metabolic syndrome.

Recensione:

"This book provides a concise discussion of endocrine physiology. First, there is a general discussion of hormone action. Next, individual chapters are devoted to each hormone system. Finally, there is a discussion of endocrine aspects of energy and electrolyte balance....This easy-to-read and concise discussion of endocrine physiology is particularly well suited for medical students with an interest in endocrinology and for students studying for the Step 1 USMLE examination. 3 Stars."--Doody's Review Service (Doody's 2006-09-22)
