Department of Endocrinology

Aims and Scope

Hormones coordinate many of the body's essential functions, regulating growth, metabolism, reproduction, development, stress responses and internal physiological balance. The Department of Endocrinology of The Gazette of Medical Sciences (The GMS) welcomes research exploring how endocrine glands, hormone-producing tissues and cellular signalling systems maintain health and contribute to disease. Its scientific interests extend from the molecular mechanisms of hormone synthesis, secretion and receptor activity to the complex interactions between endocrine organs and other physiological systems. Basic, clinical and translational investigations are encouraged.

Endocrine disorders frequently involve disturbances across multiple organs and metabolic pathways. The Department covers diabetes mellitus, obesity, metabolic syndrome, thyroid disorders, adrenal diseases, pituitary abnormalities, reproductive endocrine disorders and disturbances of calcium and bone metabolism. Research examining insulin resistance, glucose homeostasis, lipid metabolism, hormonal deficiencies, endocrine hyperfunction and metabolic complications is particularly relevant. Clinical investigations may address disease mechanisms, diagnostic criteria, hormonal assessment, treatment responses and the long-term consequences of endocrine dysfunction.

Modern endocrinology increasingly recognizes the hormonal functions of tissues beyond the classical endocrine glands. Adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, the liver, gastrointestinal tract, kidneys and cardiovascular system participate in complex endocrine and paracrine communication. The Department therefore encourages studies of metabolic signalling, neuroendocrine regulation, reproductive biology, endocrine-immune interactions, circadian rhythms and the influence of environmental factors on hormonal activity. Molecular endocrinology, endocrine genetics, experimental physiology, biomarker research and investigations into endocrine disruption are also within its scope.

Translating advances in endocrine science into effective clinical care remains a central priority. Contributions may evaluate pharmacological treatments, hormone replacement, emerging metabolic therapies, endocrine imaging, precision medicine and approaches to preventing endocrine complications. Original research, clinical trials, observational studies, reviews and well-documented case reports may be considered within the journal's applicable article categories. Authors should provide clear research objectives, appropriate methods, transparent interpretation of results and recognition of study limitations. The Department seeks to encourage scientifically rigorous research that improves understanding of endocrine physiology and supports evidence-based management of hormonal and metabolic disorders.

Energy Dynamics in the Metabolic Syndrome: Underpinnings of an Evolving Global Catastrophe

In this article we describe the dynamic aspects of MetS and show the systemic nexus of derangements that occur in conjunction with insulin resistance (IR). But IR is not the primary problem and insulin, alas, is but an innocent bystander. In previous works we document the presence of an organized energy field taking origin in the blood through the contraction and dilation cycles of the heart.
