BIO 425 - Endocrinology

Credits: 4

This course focuses on the structure, biochemistry, and function of mammalian hormones and endocrine glands; avian, amphibian and invertebrate hormones are also discussed, where relevant. Clinical pathologies resulting from excess or insufficient hormones are discussed, as this is essential to mastering an understanding of endocrinology. Laboratory exercises include experimentation in living systems and computer simulations.
