Glucocrinology: The Relationship between Glucose and Endocrine Function

The novel concept of “Glucocrinology” seeks to address this lacuna. It highlights the challenges and complexity of the endocrine relationships of glucose homeostasis, both in health and disease. Written by eminent authors from all continents, “Glucocrinology” is a book which will change the way we think about, approach and deal with diabetes. The structured layout of the book discusses each gland, covering its impact on glucose physiology, and its bidirectional relationship with diabetes, metabolic syndrome and hypoglycemia. It goes on to cover the concept of glucovigilance in endocrine disease, and endovigilance in diabetes. The need for endocrine pharmacovigilance, and important topics such as bone and reproductive health are given special attention. Well-structured sections explain the concept of glucocrinology in a basic and beautiful manner, making it easy to understand for the endocrinologists and non-endocrinologist alike. Students, clinicians and researchers will benefit from the lucid descriptions and explanations shared in this book.

Key Features :

• The book provides a view of the complicated interaction of glucose metabolism with various endocrine hormones.
• It has been divided into 4 sections. The book covers various endocrinopathies which may cause secondary diabetes or are associated with metabolic syndrome and complications/comorbidities of diabetes that may delay the diagnosis of endocrine dysfunction.
• The book also covers different endocrinotropic drugs that may be used to manage diabetes or may be involved in worsening of diabetes.
• Written by experts in the field with wide clinical and research experience.
• Presented in an easy to read format.
• A valuable resource for endocrinologists, diabetologists, clinicians and postgraduate students.
