About the Journal

Endocrinology & Diabetes Research (ECDR) is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal that publishes the most complete and reliable source of information in advancing knowledge for endocrinology and diabetes. ECDR aims to promote rigorous research on the discoveries and current research developments in the mode of original articles, review articles, case reports, short communications, etc. in all major themes pertaining to endocrinology, metabolism and diabetes.

Endocrinology & Diabetes Research is a subscription based journal that provides a range of options to purchase our articles and also permits unlimited Internet Access to complete Journal content. Articles submitted by authors are evaluated by a group of peer review experts in the field and ensures that the published articles are of high quality, reflect solid scholarship in their fields and that the information they contain is accurate and reliable. Authors may submit manuscripts and track their progress through the system, hopefully to publication. Reviewers can download manuscripts and submit their opinions to the editor. Editors can manage the whole submission/review/revise/publish process.

Manuscript can be submitted via Online Submission System or sent as an e-mail attachment to the Editorial Office at manuscript@scitechnol.com

Endocrine System

The Endocrine System is the collection of glands that produce hormones that regulate metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, sexual function, reproduction, sleep and mood among other things. The Endocrine System is made up of glands that secrete chemicals called hormones into the blood Stream or surrounding tissues.

Endocrine Glands

These are the glands of the Endocrine System that secrete their products, hormones, directly into the bloodstream rather than through a duct. The major Endocrine glands include Pineal gland, Pituitary gland, Hypothalamus, Thyroid gland, Parathyroid gland, Adrenal glands, Ovaries and Testes.

Endocrine Disorders

These are the disorders caused due to the hormonal imbalance of the Endocrine glands. Endocrine Disorders are of three types: 1) Hyposecretion of a Hormone 2) Hypersecretion of a hormone 3) Development of tumours in the Endocrine System.

Endocrine Physiology & Metabolism

The study of the mechanical, physical, and biochemical functions of the Endocrine System is called Endocrine Physiology. Endocrine disorders involve the body’s over- or under-production of certain hormones, while metabolic disorders affect the body’s ability to process certain nutrients and vitamins.

Hormones

A regulatory substance produced in an organism and transported in tissue fluids such as blood or sap to stimulate specific cells or tissues into action. It can also be defined as a chemical substance produced in the body that controls and regulates the activity of certain cells or organs.

Diabetes and Metabolic Disease

A metabolic disorder occurs when the metabolism process fails and causes the body to have either too much or too little of the essential substances needed to stay healthy. Diabetes is also a metabolic disorder.

Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes mellitus commonly referred to as Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases in which there are high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period. Symptoms of high blood sugar include frequent urination, increased thirst and hunger.

Type 1 diabetes

Type 1 Diabetes results from the pancreas’ failure to produce enough insulin. This was previously referred to as “Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus” or “juvenile diabetes”.

Type 2 diabetes

Type 2 diabetes begins with insulin resistance, a condition in which cells fail to respond to insulin properly. This was previously referred to as “non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus”. The primary cause is excessive body weight and not enough exercise. 

Insulin

This is the hormone produced in the pancreas by the islets of Langerhans, which regulates the amount of glucose in the blood. Insulin helps to keep the blood sugar level from getting too high or too low. The lack of insulin causes a form of Diabetes.

Hypo and Hyperglycemia

Hyperglycemia refers to chronically high blood glucose levels. Hypoglycemia refers to dangerously low blood glucose levels that drop below 70mg/dL. It is an acute complication of diabetes and occurs in individuals who use insulin.

Bone and Mineral Disorders

Bone and Mineral disorders occur when kidneys fail to maintain proper levels of calcium and phosphorus in the blood. They can be associated with endocrine disorders, chronic kidney disease, nutritional deficiencies or metabolic disorders.

Blood Sugar

Blood Sugar refers to sugar that is transported through the blood stream to supply energy to all the cells in our body. This sugar is made from the food we eat.

Osteoporosis

It is a medical condition in which the bones become brittle and fragile from loss of tissue, typically as a result of hormonal changes or deficiency of calcium or vitamin D.

Endocrine Oncology

Endocrine Oncology is the treatment of Endocrine cancers and tumors affecting hormone regulation. Endocrine cancer is a group of different types of cancer that impact the endocrine system.

Thyroid gland

Thyroid gland is one of the largest endocrine gland present in the neck, and consists of two connected lobes and secretes hormones regulating growth and development through the rate of metabolism.

Metabolism

The complex of Physical and Chemical processes occurring within a living cell or organism that are necessary for the maintenance of life. In metabolism some substances are broken down to yield energy for vital processes while other substances necessary for life are synthesized.

Lipid Metabolism

Lipid Metabolism refers to the processes that involve the intercourse and degradation of lipids. It is the process by which fatty acids are digested or stored in the human body. The types of lipids involved include: Bile salts and Cholesterols.

Obesity

Obesity is an abnormal accumulation of body fat, usually 20% or more over an individual’s ideal body weight. It has been more precisely defined by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 and above.

Glucose

Glucose is a carbohydrate, and it is the most simple sugar in human Metabolism. It is called simple sugar or monosaccharide. It is one of the primary molecules which serve as energy sources for plants and animals.

Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process (FEE-Review Process):
Endocrinology & Diabetes Research is participating in the Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process (FEE-Review Process) with an additional prepayment of $99 apart from the regular article processing fee. Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process is a special service for the article that enables it to get a faster response in the pre-review stage from the handling editor as well as a review from the reviewer. An author can get a faster response of pre-review maximum in 3 days since submission, and a review process by the reviewer maximum in 5 days, followed by revision/publication in 2 days. If the article gets notified for revision by the handling editor, then it will take another 5 days for external review by the previous reviewer or alternative reviewer.

Acceptance of manuscripts is driven entirely by handling editorial team considerations and independent peer-review, ensuring the highest standards are maintained no matter the route to regular peer-reviewed publication or a fast editorial review process. The handling editor and the article contributor are responsible for adhering to scientific standards. The article FEE-Review process of $99 will not be refunded even if the article is rejected or withdrawn for publication.

The corresponding author or institution/organization is responsible for making the manuscript FEE-Review Process payment. The additional FEE-Review Process payment covers the fast review processing and quick editorial decisions, and regular article publication covers the preparation in various formats for online publication, securing full-text inclusion in a number of permanent archives like HTML, XML, and PDF, and feeding to different indexing agencies.
