New Treatments In Endocrine Disorders

Endocrinology is the study of hormones and the treatment of hormonal diseases. The endocrine glands produce chemicals called hormones. These hormones are released into the blood and work by stimulating other organs in the body. The main endocrine glands are the thyroid, pancreas, parathyroid, adrenal, gonad and pituitary gland. The hormones in these glands regulate growth, metabolism, blood pressure, reproduction and many other necessary functions. Advances in genetic engineering will allow the treatment of many pediatric endocrine disorders through replacement therapy. Some of these conditions include short stature, precocious puberty and diabetes mellitus. Although the availability of such a hormone replacement offers new treatment methods, an understanding of their mechanism of action and their pharmacological characteristics is crucial to maximize their effectiveness while minimizing the possible undesirable effects. The clinician should assess the potential risks and benefits as these substances come onto the market without definitive answers available on their long-term effects.
