Metabolic and Endocrine Physiology PDF

Preface to the Third Edition

Six years have passed since publication of the second edition. All chapters have been updated, and the text has been reorganized into nonreproductive and reproductive endocrinology sections. Overviews at the head of each chapter have been replaced by learning objectives, which can be found with 368 new study questions in the back of the text. Six new chapters have been added, as well as an appendix.

Metabolic and Endocrine Physiology offers highly illustrative and succinct figures and tables to assist readers in understanding essential concepts. Attempts have been made to keep the writing concise, relevant, and up-to-date, but if clarity of presentation should be improved, constructive feedback would again be appreciated.
