Equine Endocrinology – François-René Bertin, Natalie S. Fraser

Detailní popis produktu

Endocrine and metabolic disorders are an increasingly important part of modern equine medicine, and their diagnosis and management can present complex challenges in everyday practice.

Equine Endocrinology provides a focused clinical reference dedicated specifically to endocrine disease in horses. Rather than offering a broad overview of equine medicine, François-René Bertin and Natalie S. Fraser take the reader systematically through the major hormonal systems and the disorders associated with them.

The book begins with the clinical approach to suspected endocrine disease before examining the thyroid and parathyroid glands, the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenocortical axis, endocrine pancreatic disease and Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS). Further chapters cover hyperlipaemia and lipid metabolism, additional endocrinopathies and endocrine disorders affecting both the female and male reproductive systems.

Each condition is approached from a practical clinical perspective, connecting underlying physiology with presentation, diagnostic investigation, management and treatment.

With colour figures and tables supporting the text, this is a concise specialist reference particularly suited to equine veterinarians and veterinary students, while also offering valuable deeper reading for other professionals working with equine health.

The content and nine-chapter structure are confirmed by the bibliographic record and published book contents.
