Key features: • The novel concept of "Lipocrinology" adds a new dimension to the fields of both lipidology and endocrinology. • Lipocrinology describes the relationship between lipid metabolism and endocrine function in health and disease. • Section 1 explores the impact of endocrine function on lipid health and the clinical utility of lipid parameters in decision-making in endocrine disorders. • Section 2 discusses the impact of adipose tissue and lipid metabolism on endocrine health, and the endocrine aspects of lipidology. • Section 3 focuses on the lipotropic effects of hormone-based therapies in various endocrine disorders including diabetes and describes the endocrine effects of lipid-lowering drugs, including recently introduced PCSK-9 inhibitors. • Written by experts in the field with wide clinical and research experience. • The book is presented in an easy-to-read format. • A must-read book for endocrinologists, lipidologists, cardiologists, internists, clinicians, and postgraduate students.
