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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comparative Endocrinology: A Treatise in Two Volumes, Volume II, Part One: Invertebrate Hormones, Part Two: Tissue Hormones focuses on animal physiology, morphology, and chemistry and systematic and comprehensive explanation of endocrine principles from the comparative point of view. The selection first offers information on hormones controlling reproduction and molting in invertebrates and the structure of neurosecretory systems in invertebrates. Discussions focus on protozoa, crustacea, insects, and neurosecretory systems of the head, thorax, and abdomen. The text then ponders on bradykinin, angiotensin, and substance P and heparin. The publication examines physiologically active lipid anions and 5-hydroxytryptamine. Topics include biologically active unsaturated fatty acids without alcoholic hydroxyl groups, prostaglandin, endometrial acids in menstrual fluid, turnover rate, and biosynthesis and fate. The manuscript also tackles cholinergic neurohormones and adrenergic neurohormones. The selection is a dependable source of data for readers interested in invertebrate and tissue hormones.

This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The comparative approach takes advantage of the biological diversity to select the most appropriate model organism to tackle a scientific question. Comparisons between the endocrine and nervous systems accross species have yielded major breakthroughs in endocrinology and neurobiology. For instance: a number of mammalian peptide hormones and neuropeptides have been originally identified in fish or amphibians; studies conducted in a sea slug founded the cellular and molecular basis of learning and memory; observations of neurogenesis in the forebrain of songbirds led to the discovery of adult neurogenesis in the mammalian brain. These examples illustrate the remarkable contribution of the comparative approach for the advancement of neuroendocrinological concepts. The present e-book is a unique collection of research articles and reviews that provide a representative overview of the latest developments in comparative endocrinology and neurobiology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a comprehensive review of recent developments in the fields of vertebrate and invertebrate endocrinology and neurobiology. The classical fields of comparative endocrinology and neurobiology are gaining new momentum from the many projects involving the sequencing of animal genomes. The comparative approach has proven to be one of the most rewarding for the study of gene functions and is a key component of functional genomics. The interactions between comparative endocrinology and genome sequencing as well as developmental biology and neurobiology are providing many exciting discoveries.

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.

Book excerpt: Comparative Endocrinology: A Treatise in Two Volumes, Volume I: Glandular Hormones focuses on animal morphology, physiology, and chemistry and systematic and comprehensive account of endocrine principles from the comparative consideration. The selection first offers information on hypothalamic control of anterior pituitary and neurohypophyseal hormones. Discussions focus on adrenocorticotropin, thyrotropin, gonadotropins, physiological significance of the neurohypophyseal hormones in mammals, and physiological significance of the neurohypophyseal hormones in nonmammalian vertebrates. The text then takes a look at pituitary hormones affecting chromatophores and female gonadal hormones. The publication examines male gonadal hormones and adrenocortical hormones. Topics include action of testicular estrogen and ovarian testosterone, source of sex hormones in the male, factors regulating testicular functions, biochemistry of androgens, and functions of the adrenocortical hormones. The book then tackles chromaffin cell hormones, thyroid hormones, and parathyroid glands. The selection is a dependable source of data for readers interested in glandular hormones.
