Endocrinology
Overview
Description
Consideration is given to the biosynthesis, secretion, regulation, and actions of the major bioactive chemical messengers, hormones, and neurotransmitters. Both classical and modern approaches to the study of endocrine tissues and substances are discussed, including replacement therapy, bioassay, immunohistochemistry, plasma membrane receptors, and radioimmunoassay. Laboratory exercises include studies of the microscopic anatomy of endocrine organs and their target tissues, determination of hormone concentrations using radioimmunoassay, and analysis of data from published scientific research reports of topics in endocrinology.
