Endocrinology is the science that studies the function of the endocrine glands. These glands are small organs or groups of cells located in different parts of the body and are characterized by the production of hormones. Hormones are chemicals produced in the endocrine organs or cells of the human body, transported through the bloodstream to various parts of the body for the purpose of specific regulatory action on the activity of specific cells or organs of the body. Each hormone targets one or more organs or tissues in our body and regulates one or more different functions.
Endocrinology is an ever-evolving field of medical science, with constant research and daily enrichment of new information in the international literature.
