Summary

The Third Edition of Endocrine Physiology offers comprehensive coverage of the basic science and anatomy behind endocrine function. The concepts covered will provide a basis for understanding the physiologic mechanisms involved in the neuroendocrine regulation of organ function. With its focus on must-know principles, Endocrine Physiology is the best review available for the USMLE Step 1 and the perfect reference for residents and fellows.
