Hormones in Infection. Chapter 8. Alterations in Hormone Production and Utilization during Infection,
Abstract
This chapter reviews the nature of hormonal responses during infectious illnesses. It describes the short-lived adrenocortical response, the biphasic thyroid response, the minimal catecholamine response in the absence of shock, the combined insulin-glucagon response and the variable responses by individual pituitary hormones. Concepts discussed include the severity and duration of infections, differences related to the kind of infection, and endocrine-associated complications of infection.
