American Journal of Physiology - Endocrinology and Metabolism

Aims & Scope

The American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism publishes original, mechanistic studies on the physiology of endocrine and metabolic systems.

Physiological, cellular, and molecular studies in whole animals or humans will be considered.

Specific themes include, but are not limited to, mechanisms of hormone and growth factor action; hormonal and nutritional regulation of metabolism, inflammation, microbiome and energy balance; integrative organ cross talk; paracrine and autocrine control of endocrine cells; function and activation of hormone receptors; endocrine or metabolic control of channels, transporters, and membrane function; temporal analysis of hormone secretion and metabolism; and mathematical/kinetic modeling of metabolism.

Novel molecular, immunological, or biophysical studies of hormone action are also welcome.
