In this course first of all we will give a general introduction of hormones and there types and classification. Later the most important signaling pathways and their mechanism of action will be discussed. This will include water soluble hormones and lipid soluble hormones, mechanism of action of hormones with cell surface receptors and intracellular receptors.
After that individual hormones will be discussed.

I want to study biochemistry from this website
Sir, the insulin and glucagon slides are missing. Kindly upload them when possible.
Thank you Sir for making pretty easy this quite challenging task for us.
Highly recommended for everyone.
