Abstract
The title of this lecture is HYPO. HYPER: THE ENIGMA OF LIFE. This' reflects and defines what endocrlnoloqy is to me.
, Endocrinology is' the study of the behaviour of a minute amount of chemical substances called hormones whose deficiencies (Hypo) or excess ,(Hyper)production, secretion, inability to attach to or detach from receptors in the cell of action cause clinical disorders. It is the privilege of the Paediatrician subspecialist known as the Paediatric Endocrinologist to resolve or unravel these clinical posers that are sometimes present like an enigma in the child or
an adolescent.
