The only reference of its kind, the Dictionary of Endocrinology and Related Biomedical Sciences provides over 14,000 total entries. Comprehensive descriptions of more than 200 hormones, neurotransmitters, growth factors, and related regulators include information on the chemical structures and the pathways for their biosynthesis, sequestration, release, and degradation, as well as on physiological functions, mechanisms of action, receptor subtypes, response elements, agonists and antagonists, feedback controls, diseases resulting from dysfunctions, and the actions and side-effects of therapeutic agents. Additional citations relate to genes involved in or affecting the functions, associated metabolic pathways, species and age-related changes in responses, and procedures for investigating the regulators With information drawn from the most up-to-date sources, the dictionary not only emphasizes human endocrinology but offers observations of other vertebrates, invertebrates, unicellular eukaryotes, prokaryotes, and non-living in vitro systems. It will be welcomed by students and researchers in animal physiology, cell physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, embryology, immunology, genetics, and behavioral psychology.
