Endocrinology

Endocrinology is the study of hormones, their signalling pathways, and the diseases associated with them. Hormones are chemical messengers produced by an organ and released into the blood, to be transported to a distant site to exert their function. Hormones are found in all organisms with more than one cell and are found in plants and animals, and influence or control a wide range of physiological activities, such as growth, development, puberty, alertness, sugar regulation, appetite and bone growth.
