AB In  general,  most  endocrine  pathology  involves  either  the  overproduction  or  the  underproduction  of  a  hormone.  Overproduction  of  a  given  hormone  may  be  caused  by  hyperplasia  of  the  organ  that  produces  the  hormone,  by  a  neoplastic  process,  or  by  some  combination  of  the  two  processes.  Underproduction  of  a  given  hormone,  in  contrast,  may  be  caused  by  either  destruction  of  the  gland  that  produces  the  hormone  or  by  conditions  that  deprive  an  endocrine  organ  of  its  normal  trophic  influence.
