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.
