Gastroenterology, Hepatology & Endoscopy

Scientific Session 06 : Endocrinology

Endocrinology is the study of hormones. Hormones are essential for our every-day survival. They control our temperature, sleep, mood, stress, growth and more.
There are whole sub-specialities devoted to specific areas where hormones work. For example:

• Paediatric endocrinology, looking at hormones in children
• Thyroid endocrinology, looking at how the thyroid affects metabolism
• Endocrine-disrupting chemicals, where chemicals which mimic the effects of hormones are present in the environment
• Comparative endocrinology, which looks at the way similar hormones work in different species (e.g. from insects, through to fish, birds, mammals, etc)

Sometimes there are specific societies devoted to the study of these subspecialities.
