Hello, does anyone have any good recommendations for books that are able to introduce me to key concepts regarding endocrinology and then is able to further explore the effects of certain hormones on the body?
I've been doing research on biochemical pathways such as:
PI3K/AKT activation into mTORC1
UPS
AMPK
Myostatin/activin
The reason for this is to help me understand what stimulates protein synthesis, what regulates energy expenditure and what can suppress growth
I do have a basic understanding of hormones responsible for controlling blood glucose concentration and blood water potential, however, I have very limited knowledge on steroid hormones.
Hence, I would prefer the book/s to have a heavy focus on sex steroids and corticosteroids
Also I would like to learn about the HPTA axis.
Claude ai suggested these books for me and I am curious if anyone on this forum has read any of the four.
