Hormone Research in Paediatrics, 2009
<i>Background:</i> Several endocrine disorders that affect humans also occur as endocrinopathies in companion animals. Spontaneous endocrine disorders in animals may provide valuable information for their counterparts in human endocrinology. For example, the discovery of progesterone-induced growth hormone production in the mammary gland of

Endocrine cells may become targets for autoimmune processes resulting in cellular dysfunction and diseases which cause considerable morbidity. The thyroid follicular cells, the parietal cells of the gastric mucosa, the insulin-producing islet cells and the adrenal cortical cells are most often affected.

Autoimmune endocrine diseases are serious disorders that utilize immense health care resources and cause tremendous disability. They include type 1 diabetes mellitus, thyroiditis, Graves disease, Addison disease, and polyglandular syndromes. Analysis of the basis of autoimmune diseases has been aided by the application of new knowledge in immunologic ...

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses autoimmune endocrine disease. Many different definitions of autoimmune disease exist. From a pathophysiological point of view, autoimmune disease represents altered physiology as a direct result of antibodies or lymphocytes reacting with self antigens.

Current Opinion in Immunology, 2002
The immune system can attack almost any given organ in a very specific and directed fashion. The endocrine system appears to be particularly vulnerable to this kind of insult. Which endocrine organs are most susceptible and why? Genetic studies and animal models have revealed some commonalities for these diseases.

Abstract An endocrine gland is an organ that produces hormones (Fig. 14.1). Hormones are molecules secreted into the blood which act on specific target cells throughout the body. Endocrine glands are therefore distinguished from exocrine glands which release their secretions into the bowel, respiratory tract, or skin.
