Download or read book Hormones written by Anthony W. Norman and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-06-28 with total page 823 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hormones provides a comprehensive treatment of human hormones viewed in the light of modern theories of hormone action and in the context of current understanding of subcellular and cellular architecture and classical organ physiology. The book begins with discussions of the first principles of hormone action and the seven classes of steroid hormones and their chemistry, biosynthesis, and metabolism. These are followed by separate chapters that address either a classical endocrine system, e.g., hypothalamic hormones, posterior pituitary hormones, anterior pituitary hormones, ,thyroid hormones, pancreatic hormones, gastrointestinal hormones, calcium regulating hormones, adrenal corticoids, hormones of the adrenal medulla, androgens, estrogens and progestins, and pregnancy and lactation hormones; or newer domains of hormone action which are essential to a comprehensive understanding of hormone action, including prostaglandins, thymus hormones, and pineal hormones. The book concludes with a presentation of hormones of the future, i.e., cell growth factors. This book is intended for use by first-year medical students, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates in the biological sciences. It is also hoped that this book will fill the void that exists for resource materials for teaching cellular and molecular endocrinology and that it will be employed as an equal partner with most standard biochemistry textbooks to provide a comprehensive and balanced coverage of this realm of biology.
Download or read book Encyclopedia of Sex Hormones written by Estelle Jones and published by . This book was released on 2015-02-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extensive information regarding sex hormones has been provided in this profound book. Besides regulating reproductive function, sex hormones also fundamentally influence the physiology and biology of various tissues/organs and pathophysiology of various diseases. Over the last two decades, studies on the mechanisms of action of sex hormones (estrogens and androgens) have rapidly expanded from the conventional nuclear receptor dependent mechanisms to the additional non-genomic, non-nuclear and receptor-independent mechanisms. This has depicted a pressing need to increase the current database of knowledge on sex hormones and their mode of action. Growing evidence regarding the capability of exogenous/epigenetic factors to affect sex hormone production and action emphasizes the need to update the current knowledge on sex hormones, their mode of action and the mechanisms involved. This book provides latest insights into male/female sex hormones and how they can affect physiology and biology of several organs. It also discusses the therapeutic potential and positive and negative association of these sex hormones with pathophysiology of numerous diseases such as cancer, osteoporosis etc.

Download or read book Encyclopedia of Endocrinology Volume III State Of the Art Therapies written by Joy Foster and published by . This book was released on 2015-01-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The state-of-the-art therapies in the field of endocrinology are discussed in this book. Over the past two decades, evidence of growing trends of various endocrine-related disorders has strengthened. The reason for these disorders is mostly unclear endocrine disruption or/and lack of uniform diagnosis. Unclear endocrine disruption is primarily because of unusual classical changes in the blood-released hormone to its targeted organ, abnormal contact between cells within a tissue or organ (paracrine), within the same cell (intracrine) or signals which act on the same cell (autocrine). These challenges compel the endocrinologists with an immediate need to address huge knowledge gaps in this vast field of research on Endocrinology. From the perspective viewpoint that "hormones control our bodies," it is the need of the hour to get these hormones rebalanced so that we are able to restore overall health.

Download or read book Hormonal Regulation of Development I written by J. MacMillan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-01-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first of the set of three volumes in the Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology, New Series, that will cover the area of the hormonal regulation of plant growth and development. The overall plan for the set assumes that this area of plant physiology is sufficiently mature for a review of current knowledge to be organized in terms of unifying principles and processes. Reviews in the past have generally treated each class of hormone individually, but this set of volumes is subdivided according to the properties common to all classes. Such an organization permits the examination of the hypothesis that differing classes of hormones, acting according to common principles, are determinants of processes and phases in plant development. Also in keeping with this theme, a plant hormone is defined as a compound with the properties held in common by the native members of the recognized classes of hormone. Current knowledge of the hormonal regulation of plant development is grouped so that the three volumes consider advancing levels of organizational complexity, viz: molecular and subcellular; cells, tissues, organs, and the plant as an organized whole; and the plant in relation to its environment. The present volume treats the molecular and subcellular aspects of hormones and the processes they regulate. Although it deals with chemically distinct classes of hormone, this volume stresses properties and modes of studying them, that are common to all classes.
