The Endocrine System

  • Chapter

Abstract

Primary dysfunction of the endocrine organs is as common in laboratory animals as it is in most species of animals. This chapter will highlight the most important diseases of the endocrine system and will mention only a few of the experimentally induced diseases. Since inbreeding of rodents has led to a variety of strains that are predisposed to or have endocrine dysfunction, they will be described in detail or referenced for further reading. In order to avoid duplication, the reader is referred to Chapters 7 and 4, this volume, for detailed discussion of the gonads and the endocrine pancreas, respectively.
