Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The state-of-the-art therapies in the field of endocrinology are discussed in this book. Over the past two decades, evidence of growing trends of various endocrine-related disorders has strengthened. The reason for these disorders is mostly unclear endocrine disruption or/and lack of uniform diagnosis. Unclear endocrine disruption is primarily because of unusual classical changes in the blood-released hormone to its targeted organ, abnormal contact between cells within a tissue or organ (paracrine), within the same cell (intracrine) or signals which act on the same cell (autocrine). These challenges compel the endocrinologists with an immediate need to address huge knowledge gaps in this vast field of research on Endocrinology. From the perspective viewpoint that "hormones control our bodies," it is the need of the hour to get these hormones rebalanced so that we are able to restore overall health.
