The rapidly evolving discipline of
environmental endocrinology is briefly reviewed from the 'heroic era' to the
present. Environmental endocrinology has developed in response to the need to
understand how hormones modulate and control physiological processes in animals
exposed to the exigencies of their particular, natural, environment. This has
only been made possible through spectacular developments in hormone assay
techniques which now make feasible hormone measurements on microlitre volumes
of body fluids. The results of some recent research programmers working on
animals in the field are reviewed. These include the reproductive responses of
migratory birds in the Arctic, the role of anti diuretic hormone in the survival
of desert rodents and marsupial wallabies, some interesting behavioral effects
of glucocorticoids in reptiles, and the dynamic interplay between hormones and
social status in primates.

Surgery and Care
Endocrine surgery is a surgical subspecialty
of surgery that focuses predominantly on diseases of the endocrine glands such
as thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands. Endocrine surgeons and
Endocrinologists typically work closely together to provide the most
advantageous care to patients afflicted with endocrine disorders.

Genomic endocrinology
Genomic endocrinology is defined as the
insights that may be gained about endocrine pathology and physiology from
application of the full range of genetic approaches .Genetic mechanisms leading
to endocrine disease, and functional studies of genetic mutations that shed
novel insights into the aetiology and pathogenesis of endocrine disorders.

Molecular and Cellular endocrinology
Molecular and Cellular endocrinology is the
field of study that majorly focuses on all aspects related to the biochemical
and genetic effects, secretions and synthesis of extracellular signals
(hormones, neurotransmitters, etc.) and to the understanding of cellular
regulatory mechanisms involved in hormonal control.

Organ transplantation
Islet transplantation is
a kind of transplantation where the transplantation is done by transferring
isolated islets from a donor pancreas into another person. This is an
experimental treatment for diabetes. Once the islets are transplanted, the
islets begin to produce insulin, actively regulating the level of glucose in the
blood. Like this the pancreas can also be transplanted from one person to
another and this method is called xenotransplantation.

Overweight & Obesity
The term obesity refers to the condition
where there is an accumulation of excess body fat that it might have a negative
effect on their health. Being overweight may refer to the inappropriate or too
much weight for height. Additionally, being overweight may due to other
structures in the body such as the muscle and the bone rather than fats .being
overweight can contributes to several diseases like diabetes, high blood
pressure, stroke, heart attack... etc.

Thyroid Disorders, Symptoms, &Treatment
The metabolic rate of most of your body's
organs was determined by thyroid. Normally, when thyroid hormone levels in the
body are high, they will "switch off" the production of TSH, which in
turn stops the thyroid from making more T4 and T3 .Problems occur when the
thyroid gland becomes either under active (hypothyroidism) or overactive
(hyperthyroidism). Thyroid problems are more common in women than men. Cancer
may also develop in the thyroid gland. The most common cause of hypothyroidism
is Hashimoto's thyroiditis, an autoimmune condition where the body makes
antibodies that destroy parts of the thyroid gland. Thyroid hormone production
can be suppressed or halted completely by following these methods radioactive
iodide treatment, Anti-thyroid medication and Surgery.
