Reviews for Adrenal Gland

*5 stars* ""...an exploration of the adrenal gland from a biochemical perspective to clinical scenarios.... [E]xamines various adrenal hormones such as aldosterone, cortisol, and androgens from their synthesis to physiology [and]… demonstrates the numerous regulators of adrenal hormones like microRNAs and bone morphogenetic proteins.... A collection of tables helps organize contents such as steroidogenic enzymes. The illustrations are simple and concise, and the table of contents clearly displays the sections of the book for readers.... [A] great resource for PhD graduate students to better understand adrenal gland biochemistry while highlighting some clinical applications to provide context for the molecular physiology. It is truly an in-depth guide on the adrenal hormones at their most basic molecular and cellular level."" --©Doody’s Review Service, 2024, Andrew Boutsicaris, MD (Loyola University Medical Center)
