About Endocrinology

Endocrinology is an advanced branch of medicine which deals with the endocrine glands of the body. These include hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenals, pancreas, testes and ovaries. These glands secrete hormones which control our blood sugar levels, fat and energy balance, blood pressure, stress, growth, sleep, mood and reproductive functions. These hormones are essential for day-to-day survival.
