Comprehensive and comparative, this thoroughly updated text explores the intricate mechanisms that control human physiology and behavior as well as that of other vertebrate animals. It describes the basic mechanisms whereby hormones produce their effects at the cellular, organ, and organism levels as well as how a hormone can work cooperatively or antagonistically with another hormone. This information is essential for understanding the importance of hormones in regulating normal development, physiology, and behavior and how disrupting environmental influences can interfere with these roles. This knowledge also is basic for understanding how we deal with such conditions as stress as well as with the myriad of hormone-related clinical disorders such as diabetes or thyroid disorders and why they are difficult to diagnose and treat.

The Fourth Edition of Vertebrate Endocrinology includes extended coverage of mammalian systems, neuroendocrinology, and molecular endocrinology.
