Publisher Summary The capacity of the mammalian organism to function as an integrated unit is made possible by two principal control mechanisms, the nervous system and the endocrine system. Although the endocrine system has been traditionally regarded as a system of glands capable of releasing chemical mediators, which act on targets distant from the ...

Many of the induced changes in the endocrine system are a result of interference with feedback control mechanisms and as such are often predictable. However, some lesions also occur which are due to direct toxic effects.

STUDIES OF THE ENDOCRINE GLANDS*
Endocrinology, 1928In a recent communication one of us (Rowe, 1) has presented the details of an objective method for the differential diagnosis of endocrine disorders, together with an analysis of a series of one thousand cases to which it has been applied. The present paper deals with the results obtained in the study, by this method, of a series of cases, four hundred

By definition these are glandular organs producing secretions which pass straight into the blood stream. Because they have no ducts they are often referred to as ductless glands.

Tumours of the thyroid show a preponderance of follicular types but in other respects are similar to pattern described in other countries. Adrenal cortical tumours are rare. Phaeo-chromocytomas occur outside the adrenal more frequently than in the adrenal medulla. Autoimmune phenomena in the endocrine glands are extremely rare in Ugandan Africans.

Effects on the endocrine glands [PDF]
, 1960 Many of the changes observed by Prof. Asian in the procaine-treated old people indicate that this substance acts upon the endocrine glands. Hair growth, as already mentioned, is stimulated; some testicular function, often almost dormant, is revived; small amounts of estrogen (the female sex hormone) are found circulating in old women again (the return ...

This short chapter deals briefly with the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroids, adrenals, endocrine cells of the pancreas, and gonadal hormones. A brief description of the origin and morphogenesis of each of these organs is given, except in the case of those already considered in earlier chapters.

ENDOCRINE GLANDS AND THE TEETH
Endocrinology, 1931While a great deal is known about infected teeth and their relation to arthritis, gall bladder disease, gastric ulcer, etc., very little is known about the effect of infected teeth on the endocrine system; yet the importance of this subject can hardly be over-estimated.

Tumours of the Endocrine Glands
1986The clinical presentation of a child with an endocrine tumour may be caused by the effects of a mass lesion, a hormone excess state or hormone deficiencies. Medical awareness of a hormone deficiency tends to lag behind that of a mass lesion. For example, the diagnosis of craniopharyngioma is nearly always precipitated by severe persistent headaches or ...

Endocrine Glands and Their Secretions
1987Integration and coordination of the complex osmoregulatory processes described in Chapter 10 appear to be largely under endocrine control. As we saw earlier, management of body fluids is based on two principal mechanisms: (1) alteration of membrane permeability to water and particular ions; and (2) active ion pumps transporting ions against their ...
