Welcome
Welcome to the website for Norris, Carr: Vertebrate Endocrinology, 5th Editionth Edition.
Vertebrate Endocrinology represents more than just a treatment of the endocrine system—it integrates hormones with other chemical bioregulatory agents not classically included with the endocrine system. It provides a complete overview of the endocrine system of vertebrates by first emphasizing the mammalian system as the basis of most terminology and understanding of endocrine mechanisms and then applies that to non-mammals. The serious reader will gain both an understanding of the intricate relationships among all of the body systems and their regulation by hormones and other bioregulators, but also a sense of their development through evolutionary time as well as the roles of hormones at different stages of an animal's life cycle.
Vertebrate Endocrinology is designed for graduate students and advanced undergraduates in the biological, animal, and veterinary sciences; as well as endocrine researchers in comparative, veterinary, and mammalian endocrinology.
The Fifth Edition will be reorganized and completely updated including the addition of new clinical correlation vignettes, a new chapter on Endocrine Disrupters, and new full-color figures and tables.
