Hormone resistance and hypersensitivity states

the long version

One of three volumes comprising a textbook and reference that examines endocrine and metabolic diseases, not gland by gland as is conventional, but through the three major pathophysiological mechanisms that underlie the majority of known endocrine diseases. The other two volumes cover gene mutations and autoimmunity. Here specialists from around the world review comprehensively but not exhaustively the human hormone resistance and hypersensitivity syndromes, including those due to pre-receptor, receptor, and post- receptor abnormalities.
