The Endocrine Society

Endocrinologists are specially trained doctors who diagnose and treat diseases related to hormones and glands.  Hormones control reproduction, metabolism (food burning and waste elimination) and growth and development, as well as the way a person responds to their environment.  Endocrine researchers conduct basic research to clarify the function of glands.  Clinical research helps them refine the best methods to treat patients.  Endocrinologists also develp new drugs and treatments for hormone problems.  Endocrinologists can serve as expert resources in the following areas:
