Abstract

This collection explores molecular mechanisms across endocrine systems, detailing hormone signaling pathways in metabolism, development, and disease. It covers thyroid hormones, GLP-1, glucocorticoid receptors, FGF21, and adiponectin in metabolic regulation and diabetes. Further insights include parathyroid hormone and vitamin D in bone health, the renin-angiotensin system in hypertension, and pituitary gland development. Mechanisms of pancreatic Beta-cell insulin secretion and sex steroid receptor biology are also discussed, highlighting novel therapeutic targets for various endocrine and metabolic disorders
