Review quotes

*5 stars* "...an exploration of the adrenal gland from a biochemical perspective to clinical scenarios....[E]xamines various adrenal hormones such as aldosterone, cortisol, and androgens from their synthesis to physiology [and]… demonstrates the numerous regulators of adrenal hormones like microRNAs and bone morphogenetic proteins....A collection of tables helps organize contents such as steroidogenic enzymes. The illustrations are simple and concise, and the table of contents clearly displays the sections of the book for readers....[A] great resource for PhD graduate students to better understand adrenal gland biochemistry while highlighting some clinical applications to provide context for the molecular physiology. It is truly an in-depth guide on the adrenal hormones at their most basic molecular and cellular level."—©Doody’s Review Service, 2024, Andrew Boutsicaris, MD (Loyola University Medical Center)
