Endocrinology has been written to meet the requirements of today's
trainee doctors and the demands of an increasing number of degree courses in
health and biomedical sciences, and allied subjects. It is a truly integrated

A thyroid
disease is a medical condition impairing the function of the thyroid.

steroid genesis in cyclic, pregnant and hysterectomized mares.
In
addition to covering the basics in the Concepts in Endocrine Pathophysiology
lecture, the lectures in this course note cover a wide range of subjects, from
Pituitary Neoplasia to Diabetes and Obesity - Treatment to Goiter and Thyroid
