The endocrine system is involved in virtually all aspects of the mammalian organism, its biochemical, physiological, locomotor, reproductive, and psychologic functions. At the cellular level, hormones participate in gametogenesis, fertilization, implantation, organogenesis, and differentiation. In the total...
There are 44 endocrine system diseases, or conditions that affect endocrine system function and, thereby, other functions and systems of the body. They are usually named according to the gland that the disease affects. There are also diseases or conditions that affect a number of endocrine glands...

Several perioperative factors are responsible for the dysregulation or suppression of the immune system with a possible impact on cancer cell growth and the development of new metastasis. These factors have the potential to directly suppress the immune s
A brief overview of the crocodilian endocrine system is presented here as a necessary introduction to understanding the hormonal basis of reproduction. Crocodilians possess the typical vertebrate endocrine system with one notable exception—the lack of a pineal gland (Sorenson, 1894); Studnicka, 1900)...
These four endocrine systems represent functional axes that each operate via a three-step process involving the hypothalamus, pituitary, and target organ. More recently, the importance of distributed endocrine activity that has central nervous system effects has been recognized, such as the production ...
