INTRODUCTION

The aim of this report is to provide a range of information - from detailed market analyses through industry trends - to quantify, qualify, and compare prescription products on the market and in development for the treatment of selected endocrine and metabolic disorders. There is a correlation between several endocrine and metabolic disorders, and recently there has been considerable emphasis put on metabolic syndrome, which comprises several interrelated endocrine and metabolic disorders. The metabolic components of cardiovascular disease and obesity, for example, are linked in numerous ways that reflect the impact each has on the other. Reduction in obesity reduces the incidence of diabetes, and both of these conditions, independently, are major contributors to cardiovascular disease.
