Download or read book Physical Properties of the Steroid Hormones written by Lewis L. Engel and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pure and Applied Biology, Volume 3: Physical Properties of the Steroid Hormones illustrates the efficiency of methodology for the solution of problems of isolation, identification and quantitative determination of the physical properties of steroids. This volume is composed of five chapters, and begins with a survey of the factors that influence the partition coefficient of steroid hormone, along with the consideration of the types and preparation of solvent systems for determination. The next chapter describes the chromatographic mobilities of steroids using several chromatographic methods, such as paper chromatography. A chapter presents the ultraviolet absorption data on structural correlations of steroids. Another chapter highlights the conversion of a steroid into a fluorescent compound through the steroid-acid interaction mechanism. The final chapter deals with the selective absorption spectra of steroids in concentrated sulfuric acid without heating. This book is directed primarily toward steroid chemists and researchers.

Download or read book Conjugates of Steroid Hormones written by Harry E. Hadd and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conjugates of Steroid Hormones focuses on the synthesis, isolation, assay, and metabolism of steroid conjugates. The book first offers information on the isolation of steroid conjugates and sulfates of steroid hormones. Topics include separation of steroid conjugates by adsorption, isolation from natural sources, group separation of sulfates and glucuronides, enzymic synthesis, and separation of steroid conjugates by solvent extraction. The manuscript then tackles glucuronides and glycosides of steroid hormones, as well as chemical synthesis and biosynthesis of diconjugates. The text ponders on phosphates of steroid hormones and metabolism of steroid conjugates. Discussions focus on the occurrence of steroid phosphates in biological fluids; metabolism of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate to estrogens; formation of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate; and estrogen conjugates. The publication is highly recommended for organic chemists and biochemists.

Download or read book Schering Symposium on Biodynamics and Mechanism of Action of Steroid Hormones Berlin March 14 to 16 1968 written by Gerhard Raspé and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in Biosciences 2 documents the proceedings of the Schering Symposium on Biodynamics and Mechanism of Action of Steroid Hormones held in Berlin, on 14-16 March 1968. The volume begins by presenting the opening address on the symposium's main themes followed by a lecture on the factors influencing the nature and significance of research in the biological sciences. The papers presented cover topics such as methods for automatic and semi-automatic assay of steroids; the combination of gas chromatography and mass spectrometry for the investigation of complex mixtures; factors controlling steroid hormone metabolism; and the metabolism of free and conjugated estrogens. Other studies deal with the molecular basis of estrogen-binding in target cells; early biochemical events in the mouse testis associated with ultimate induction of interstitial cell tumors by estrogens; biochemical features of androgens; and effects of corticosteroid administration on rats. This book also presents panel discussions on the clinical aspects, biodynamics, and action of steroid hormones.

Download or read book Hormonal Steroids written by Vivian Hector Thomas James and published by Elsevier Science & Technology. This book was released on 1971 with total page 1096 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information concerning localization of exogenously administered tritiumlabeled steroid hormones in the brain by dry-mount autoradiography was presented. Estrogens, androgens, and glucocorticoids were found to be concentrated and retained in nuclei of certain neurons. The autoradiographic information on the topographic distribution of hormone-neurons (neurons which concentrate, retain, and respond in a specific manner to hormones) suggested that "feedback" areas for the regulation of endocrine glands are not restricted to the hypothalamus and preoptic region. It appeared that gonadotropin and neurons that regulate sexual behavior were widespread within the phylogenetically ancient periventricular brain, following the origin, the termination, and to some degree, the path of certain nerve-fiber tracts. In the case of estradiol and androgen, likely to be involved are the stria terminalis, the ventral amygdalohypothalamic pathway, a portion of the fornix, the periventricular bundle, and others. Hormone-neurons have been found only in the periventricular brain but not in the neopallium. It was concluded that the "hypophysiotropic area" is probably not restricted to a limited hypothetical segment of the hypothalamus but is identical with the multiple sites of autoradiographically defined hormone-neurons within the phylogenetically older periventricular brain.

The next section explores androgen receptors and includes chapters dealing with the specific binding of steroid-receptor complexes to DNA as well as the effects of androgen receptors on rat and human prostate. Subsequent chapters discuss the action of progesterone, aldosterone, and corticosteroid receptors. This monograph will be of interest to biochemists, biologists, and physiologists.
Download or read book Health Risk and Adversity written by Catherine Panter-Brick and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2010 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on health involves evaluating the disparities that are systematically associated with the experience of risk, including genetic and physiological variation, environmental exposure to poor nutrition and disease, and social marginalization. This volume provides a unique perspective - a comparative approach to the analysis of health disparities and human adaptability - and specifically focuses on the pathways that lead to unequal health outcomes. From an explicitly anthropological perspective situated in the practice and theory of biosocial studies, this book combines theoretical rigor with more applied and practice-oriented approaches and critically examines infectious and chronic diseases, reproduction, and nutrition.
