Interrelationship of Nutrition and Endocrinology

ALBERT B. EISENSTEIN M.D.1

1 Department of Medicine, Cochran Veterans Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri

In the past, the relationship of nutrition and endocrinology has been made evident by impairment of endocrine gland function included by nutritional deficiencies. Investigations of insulin and growth hormone secretion have brought a new perspective to the role of nutrition in hormone production since they show that nutrient intake exerts a fine control over synthesis and release of these hormones. The physiological effects of insulin and growth hormone in utilization of carbohydrates, amino acids, and lipid serve to emphasize further the inseparable relationship of nutrition and endocrinology.
