endocrinal
Of hormone glands
Endocrinal means relating to the endocrine system—the network of glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream.
The word appears in medical and scientific contexts: endocrinal disorders, endocrinal function.
Endocrine is far more common; endocrinal is a rarer variant with identical meaning.
