Endocrinology

Endocrinology is the study of hormone synthesis, secretion, transportation, and action at the diagnostic, cellular, and molecular levels. Hormones control bodily functions over a considerable distance through the arteries or over small distances such as through cell-to-cell connectivity. The clinical repercussions of hormonal dysfunction can be widely categorized as hormonal deficiency or excess. Endocrine testing is based on the idea that suppression tests identify hormone excess whereas stimuli tests identify hormone deficiency. These tests are carried out against a backdrop of different factors that help regulate hormonal secretion, the results must be interpreted with extreme caution.
