" To tackle the pharmacological tools that are able to interfere with those mechanisms.
The second section of this course deals with " Diseases of Nutrition and endocrine glands ". The aims of this section are to describe and discuss the relationships between nutritional disorders and functional abnormalities of the endocrine system.
