Advanced study of the role of hormones in the physiologic regulation of vertebrate organ systems. One or two specific areas of endocrinology will be selected by the instructor. Emphasis will be placed on critical analysis and discussion of the experimental basis for current theories of the mechanisms whereby hormones modulate physiologic processes. Readings will be taken from the literature. May be repeated to a maximum of six credits.
