The Endocrine Glands

  • Chapter
Atlas of Experimental Toxicological Pathology

Part of the book series: Current Histopathology ((CUHI,volume 13))

Abstract

Many of the induced changes in the endocrine system are a result of interference with feedback control mechanisms and as such are often predictable. However, some lesions also occur which are due to direct toxic effects.
