Description

Master the aspects of endocrine physiology required in clinical medicine and ace the USMLE

Endocrine Physiology delivers unmatched coverage of the fundamental concepts of hormone biological actions—providing the foundation you need to understand the physiologic mechanisms involved in neuroendocrine regulation of organ function.

The first chapter walks you through organization of the endocrine system, as well as general concepts of hormone production and release, transport and metabolic rate, and cellular mechanisms of action. Emphasizing must-know principles, Endocrine Physiology is essential for residents and fellows and is the single-best endocrine review available for the USMLE® Step 1.

Features

  • Boxed case studies show how to apply principles to real-world clinical situations
  • Bulleted objectives, key concepts, study questions, suggested readings, and diagrams encapsulating key concepts
  • Pedagogical instruction throughout
