HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
The ENDO 2002 Research Summaries Book has been designed to facilitate media coverage of the
th84 Annual Meeting of The Endocrine Society. The highlighted abstracts contained in this book
have been identified as those that would be of particular interest to journalists. They were
selected from among nearly 2,500 abstracts that will be presented at ENDO 2002.
Each abstract in this book is presented in its original scientific form, just as it appears in the
Program and Abstracts Book. A news summary of the research, which was prepared in
coordination with the research teams, follows each abstract. The summaries include additional
background information on the area of research and, in many cases, the source of funding for the
research. The original abstracts appear on the left-hand pages and the news summaries on the
facing right-hand pages.
The abstracts are divided into general topic areas, as denoted in the table of contents. Hot Topics
and Clinical Trials Symposia, the first section of this book, features results of up-to-the-minute
research and the latest clinical trials. At the end of the book, there are indices of abstracts by
abstract number, author, date of presentation, abstract topic area and research funding source. In
addition, this book includes a special compilation of abstracts related to the focus of ENDO 2002:
“The Impact of the Human Genome on Endocrinology.” These abstracts are marked in the
indices with the following symbol:
