Nursing, Gastroenterology, and Endocrinology. I would like to mention here that
this is a valuable work done by Dr. Akash and team for providing each chapter with
evidence- based background material highlighting principal science, envisioned not
only for the professional who already possesses a basic understanding of the principles of endocrinology and associated diseases but also for early stage researchers.
It is my expectation and belief that this book will deliver an effective knowledge
and understanding based on practical work done so far for researchers and professionals considerate for patient care to help reduce the exposure to endocrine disruptors and improve incidences of associated metabolic disorders. I believe that
“Endocrine disrupting chemicals-induced metabolic disorders and treatment strategies” will stand as one of the opening cornerstones as so far, no book has been
published that provides the comprehensive compilation of what this book depicts
relating endocrine disruptors and metabolic disorders. I wish this book had been
available countless years ago!
