Molecular Mechanisms in Endocrine Diseases

Molecular mechanisms in endocrine diseases involve disruptions at the level of hormones and their receptors in the body. Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate various functions, like metabolism and growth. When there's an imbalance, such as excess or insufficient hormone production, or if receptors malfunction, it can lead to conditions like diabetes or thyroid disorders. These events often stem from genetic mutations, environmental factors, or lifestyle choices. Understanding these mechanisms helps in diagnosing, managing, and developing treatments for endocrine diseases, aiming to restore balance and improve health outcomes.
