Trauma and the endocrine system
Endocrinología y Nutrición, 2010The endocrine system may be the target of different types of trauma with varied consequences. The present article discusses trauma of the hypothalamic-pituitary axes, adrenal glands, gonads, and pancreas. In addition to changes in circulating hormone levels due to direct injury to these structures, there may be an endocrine response in the context of ...

We sincerely thank Dr Jolobe for the response to our paper1 and very much appreciate the interesting addition2 to the discussion on this difficult topic. It is true that autoimmunity has been proposed to play a role in the aetiology of Peripartum Cardiomyopathy (PPCM), as we mention in our introduction.

Endotoxins and endocrine system
Domestic Animal Endocrinology, 1998There is good evidence for the interaction of neuroendocrine and immune systems. Endotoxin (LPS)-induced mediators (e.g., cytokines, prostaglandins etc) set on endocrine organs (e.g., the hypothalamo-pituitry-adrenal axis; thyroid glands etc). Endotoxin-treated, intestinal ischemic, or irradiated rats show decreased T4 levels of blood.

Disorders of the Endocrine System
Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 1981The early identification of a number of neonatal endocrine diseases can result in successful therapy. Laboratory diagnosis of thyroid disorders, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, growth hormone deficiency, and diabetes insipidus are discussed.

Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 1985
The pattern of age-induced changes in each endocrine system is unique. Both hormone levels and target organ responsivity are altered in the aging endocrine-cardiovascular system. Serum levels of vasopressor hormones both increase (norepinephrine) and decrease (renin, aldosterone).

Endocrine Systems and Behavior
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 1987Estradiol, either directly from the ovary of females or as a metabolite of testosterone from the testes of males, seems to be the necessary and probably sufficient endocrine signal for sexual differentiation and adult sexual expression. Progesterone, in females, may play an important priming or facilitative role prior to estrus, especially following ...

The phylogeny of the endocrine system
Experientia, 1986Phylogeny, which is a representation of the evolutionary history of taxa, requires critical interpretation of biological diversity and of the relationship of this with the unity of organisation which underlies living systems. Some degree of personal judgement may be involved in particular cases, and so, because of this subjective element, phylogenetic ...

The expanding endocrine system
Journal of Endocrinology, 1987Abstract To many attending the 6th Joint Meeting of British Endocrine Societies at the University of Warwick in March 1987, one symposium appeared perhaps somewhat unorthodox in its subject area, being juxtaposed alongside more clearly defined specialities such as the Oestrogen Receptor, Calcium-Regulating Hormones and Adrenal Gland ...

Obesity and the Endocrine System
Psychiatric Clinics of North America, 1984The entire endocrine system including the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid, adrenal cortex, and gonads, has been examined for the cause of obesity. This article discusses the relationship between obesity and the endocrine glandular system. Guidelines for treating obesity caused by specific endocrine dysfunction are presented in detail.

Endocrine Tumors of the Gastrointestinal System
2003Endocrine tumors of the gastrointestinal tract constitute a heterogeneous anatomical and functional group of cells with respect to clinical syndromes, clinico-pathological associations, and prognosis. The WHO classification is now used for the diagnosis and classification of these tumors with respect to anatomical location, tumor cell type, and ...
