Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General and Comparative Endocrinology: An Integrative Approach, takes a holistic approach to endocrinology, introducing students to the diverse facets of this interdisciplinary science ranging from the medical to comparative domains, while also exploring evolutionary, environmental, and conservation specializations within the field. The textbook is founded on the principle that students interested in the health sciences will benefit from understanding how proficiency in endocrine function among a diversity of organisms contributes to advances in modern medicine. Likewise, students intrigued by comparative physiology will benefit from the wealth of knowledge derived from medical/clinical endocrinology, the historical bedrock of the field. This textbook represents the modern field of endocrinology in its totality by addressing topics and recent advances not currently discussed in other introductory endocrinology textbooks. Key Features Introduces the broad and interdisciplinary scope of endocrinology. Provides clear chapter objectives and key concepts. Includes summary and synthesis questions for each chapter that are suitable for exams and quizzes. Includes a chapter devoted to endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Describes the roles played by the endocrine system in important health challenges related to appetite regulation, obesity, diabetes, and other diseases stemming from ‘mismatches to modernity’. Integrates evolutionary and comparative approaches to hormones and health.

Book excerpt: Comparative Endocrinology Aubrey Gorbman, Walton W. Dickhoff, Steven R. Vigna, Nancy B. Clark & Charles L. Ralph Keenly sensitive to the needs and capabilities of today’s undergraduate, this textbook provides a broadly comparative approach to vertebrate endocrinology which is not confined to the study of mammals but compares and relates all vertebrate groups. The mechanism of hormonal action is considered as a general phenomenon and specifically with respect to each of the vertebrate hormones. The book’s initial gland-by-gland approach permits a rapid review of the entire endocrine system and of the linkages between environmental changes and hormonally regulated adaptive changes. Gradually, the book’s emphasis shifts from glands and their hormones to chemically modulated phenomena of increasing complexity. Thus, the relatively simpler process of integumentary pigment control and its regulation is discussed before calcium metabolism. Other multihormonally regulated phenomena like osmoregulation, and the highly complex subject of intermediary metabolism are discussed in stages throughout the work before being presented in their own right in later chapters. The book’s comparative approach gives way in Chapter 13 to the examination of endocrine-regulated reproduction in mammals, particularly in man. This departure is due primarily to the well-recognized difficulty of generalizing from one animal group to another in light of the highly adaptive quality of vertebrate reproduction. The book, at this point, limits the range of discussion on the comparative aspects of reproductive endocrinology by choosing to present the best understood species—the rat and man—as the principal models for study of the phenomenon. As an instructional tool, Comparative Endocrinology is unsurpassed in its clarity. The use of all technical terms is preceded or accompanied by explanations for those terms. The most lavishly illustrated endocrinology text available, the book contains numerous summary diagrams to permit students to organize complex interrelationships visually. Photographs and electron micrographs are drawn from the vast body of original literature to provide outstanding illustrations of morphological features.

Download or read book Handbook of Hormones written by Yoshio Takei and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2015-08-26 with total page 1156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook of Hormones: Comparative Endocrinology for Basic and Clinical Research collates fundamental information about the structure and function of hormones from basic biology to clinical use. The handbook offers a rapid way to obtain specific facts about the chemical and molecular characteristics of hormones, their receptors and signalling pathways, and the biological activities they regulate. The evolution of hormones and gene families is also covered both in the text and in online ancillaries. Users will find simple and visual ways to learn key molecular information. Chapters and online ancillary resources integrate additional sections, providing a comparative molecular, functional, and evolutionary consideration. Provides the only single resource available with concise, yet informative descriptions of hormones in vertebrates, invertebrates, and plants Presents hormones in groups according to their origin, so that readers can easily understand their inter-relation Includes comparative information on the structures and functions of hormones enabling readers to understand both general and specific actions in and across species Ancillary website hosts additional information, including sequence data, comparative data, figures, and tables

Book excerpt: HIS book grew out of suggestions from the Publications Com T mittee of the American Physiological Society, which has planned a series covering the development of ideas about a number of areas of physiology. This was prompted by the great success of Circulation of the Blood: Men and Ideas, edited by A. P. Fishman and D. W. Richards, which was originally published in 1964 and then reissued by the Society in 1982. Three companion books are being completed in conjunction with the centennial year of the American Physiolog ical Society: this volume on endocrinology, one on the kidney, and one on membrane transport. It was our purpose not to provide a complete bibliography or a complete listing of all the progress made in a given area but to show PREFACE the principal ideas and how they developed. Consequently, limi- tions were placed on the number of references and on the length of each chapter. This book covers most of the areas of endocrinology; it is not completely comprehensive but discusses the main pathways of development and highlights the prominent investigators. We hope that the book as a whole will give an excellent picture of the evolution of this exciting area of physiology and the people involved in its growth. Most of the endocrine organs were discovered in antiquity by such early workers as Aristotle and Galen. The last endocrine gland to be discovered was the parathyroid in 1891 by Gley.
