Endocrinologists, long concerned with early development, growth, and maturation, are now increasing their attention to the alterations in endocrine function that occur in later life and that affect neuroendocrine control systems, circulating hormone concentrations, target tissue responsiveness, and cellular function. The role of hormonal changes in the diseases of aging and in age-related changes in the function of cells and tissues was discussed at a...Symposium Papers1. MCKENZIE J, HONTELA S, and SCHWARTZ G.
