Endocrinology and Metabolism

 Endocrinology is the branch of biology and medicine dealing with the endocrine system, its diseases and its specific secretions known as hormones, growth promotion and malignancy. Behavioral endocrinology is the study of hormonal processes and neuroendocrine systems that influence or regulate behavior. Endocrinology includes the wide area that not only affects our endocrine system but also has effects on the skin which shows indirectly involvement of dermatology. Metabolism is the set of life-sustaining chemical transformations within the cells. The main purposes of metabolism are the conversion of fuel to energy to run cellular processes, the conversion of fuel to building blocks for proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and some carbohydrates, and the elimination of nitrogenous wastes
