In endocrinology, the types and quantity of digital data are increasing rapidly. Computing capabilities are also developing at an incredible rate, as illustrated by the recent expansion in the use of popular generative artificial intelligence (AI) applications. Numerous diagnostic and therapeutic devices using AI have already entered routine endocrine practice, and developments in this field are expected to continue to accelerate. Endocrinologists will need to be supported in managing AI applications. Beyond technological training, interdisciplinary vision is needed to encompass the ethical and legal aspects of AI, to manage the profound impact of AI on patient/provider relationships, and to maintain an optimal balance between human input and AI in endocrinology.

Target Cell Response to Hormones
Notably, the cellular response can be regulated by altering the number of receptors expressed in the cell. For example, prolonged exposure to elevated hormone levels results in a gradual decline or down-regulation in the number of receptors for that specific hormone on the cell surface. Conversely, in response to low hormone levels, cells may use up-regulation, producing an...
