Endocrinology III. [antikvár]

Ii';'. Preface This volume treats the more important aspects of the physiology of the thyroid gland related to iodine nie-tabolism. A short introductory chapter should orient the inexperienced reader suiliciently to enable him to go on to any of the more detailed chapters in the book. We are deeply indebted to the many contributors to this volume for their patient and skillful cooperation in summarizing available information, often contributed in large part by their own laboratories. We particularly wish to thank Roy O. Creep and Edwin B. Astwood the Section Editors, Margaret Clary the Copy Editor, and Marianne Broth the Proof Reader, for their laborious and indispensable contributions toward making this volume a success. MONTE A.
