In order to continue the advances of basic endocrinology, further development of molecular endocrinology and neuroendocrinology is necessary. In molecular endocrinology, investigations of the action mechanisms of hormones in non-typical target tissues, such as those of estrogen in bone, in cholesterol metabolism and in the immune system, may yield lucrative results. In these studies, estrogen action by non-classical pathways should also be investigated. In the investigation of brain functions, the role of neuroendocrinology seems to be important since signal transduction pathways in both the nervous and endocrine systems are similar. For these further developments of basic endocrinology, creative investigations by young and impartial investigators should be particularly accelerated.
为了继续推动基础内分泌学的发展，分子内分泌学和神经内分泌学的进一步发展是必要的。在分子内分泌学中，研究激素在非典型靶组织中的作用机制，如雌激素在骨骼、胆固醇代谢和免疫系统中的作用机制，可能会产生丰硕的成果。在这些研究中，还应研究非经典途径的雌激素作用。在脑功能的研究中，神经内分泌学的作用似乎很重要，因为神经和内分泌系统中的信号转导途径是相似的。对于基础内分泌学的这些进一步发展，应特别加快年轻且公正的研究人员进行的创新性研究。
