Grundlagen und neue Entwicklungen
Die technischen Fortschritte und neuen Möglichkeiten der molekularen Biologie – Genomanalysen, Expressionsanalysen, konfokale Lasermikroskopie, Proteomics – lassen die Physiologie von Wirbeltieren, genauso wie die von Nicht-Wirbeltieren, in einem neuen Licht erscheinen.
Bei der Darstellung der Endokrinologie von Mensch und Tier wird dieser Entwicklung Rechnung getragen: Die Schwergewichte liegen auf Hormonbiochemie, Hormonphysiologie, Hormonrezeptoren, endokrinen Organen und Regelkreisen und der Regelung endokriner Rhythmen.
Die Betrachtung des Hormonsystems reicht von seinen Ursprüngen bei Invertebraten, seiner Evolution, den Wechselwirkungen mit Nerven- oder Immunsystem bis zu Stoffwechselstörungen bei menschlichen Gen-Defekten.
In der three. Auflage sind nun alle Abbildungen in Farbe. Der textual content ist komplett aktualisiert, weitere Hormonsteckbriefe sind hinzugekommen und der Abschnitt steroidogene Enzymeist komplett überarbeitet.
Alles verständlich und kompakt in einem Buch!

An huge, immense quantity of analysis attempt has been directed towards elucidating the mechanism in which components are extruded from cells; and reports were written and symposia held with the intention to systematize the plethora of facts made to be had. even though, the ways hired to review the secretory technique were so varied that it truly is tough, if now not most unlikely, for one person or perhaps a crew of people to maintain abreast of all facets of the sphere and to investigate them seriously. therefore I undertook the writing of this quantity with loads of trepidation. In trying to find a few start line, I evidently regarded as my fundamental concentration the position of calcium within the secretory approach, which has occupied my study pursuits for the previous thirteen years. yet considering rather a lot experimentation has been conducted in this and similar issues over the last decade or , I felt it used to be nonetheless essential to visualize this enterprise from substitute ap proaches: (1) a extra common one, which might conceal the topic of calcium and the secretory approach from a large viewpoint, yet in fact no longer in nice aspect, and (2) a extra particular one, limiting insurance to rigorously outlined limits yet with accomplished research of restricted issues. the ultimate path undertaken seems to be to lie someplace among those extremes.

This publication is a wonderful accomplished advisor to how hormones give a contribution to psychiatric problems, and the way these issues effect hormones. it's good written & explains the endocrine pathways completely with out getting slowed down in information. it's good written, good inspiration out, & from time to time, deals historic views that assist in making experience of items. It evidently took loads of power to collect this.
