PSIO 6370 Advanced Endocrine Physiology

3 SCH. An interactive survey of modern endocrinology presented largely from the current primary literature. The scope will focus on mechanisms and will extend from molecular biology (hormone interactions with genes, receptors, ion channels, second messengers, etc.) to systematic control (feedback, secretion, distribution, metabolic clearance rate, etc.) Broad topic areas discussed will be determined in part by class interests. Offered every other fall (odd years).
