Endocrine Reviews is a peer-reviewed medical journal that publishes comprehensive and systematic review articles in all areas of endocrinology and related fields. The journal is published by the Endocrine Society and is considered one of the leading publications in the field of endocrinology.

Overview[edit | edit source]

Endocrine Reviews covers a wide range of topics related to the study of the endocrine system, including hormone biology, cell biology, molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, and physiology. The journal publishes review articles that provide an in-depth analysis of the current state of research in these areas, as well as perspectives on future directions.

Content[edit | edit source]

The content of Endocrine Reviews is divided into several sections, each focusing on a specific area of endocrinology. These sections include:

Hormone Biology: This section covers the study of hormones, the chemical messengers that regulate many of the body's functions. Topics include hormone synthesis, secretion, and action, as well as the role of hormones in health and disease.

Cell Biology and Molecular Biology: This section focuses on the study of cells and molecules, including the structure and function of cellular components, and the molecular mechanisms underlying cellular processes.

Genetics and Biochemistry: This section covers the study of genes and biochemical processes, including the role of genes in endocrine disorders, and the biochemical pathways involved in hormone action.

Physiology: This section focuses on the study of the body's functions, including the role of the endocrine system in regulating these functions.
