Synopsis

With the many new techniques available in cellular and molecular biology, it has been possible to identify common patterns of activity in cells of the endocrine system. This volume provides an in-depth and up-to-date view of progress in cellular and molecular endocrinology. It deals with the conceptual fundamentals of receptor identification and structure, gene expression, signaling, and second messenger systems. It also describes newly appreciated concepts of receptor and gene regulation and covers physiological processes such as secretion, steroidogenesis, and apoptosis. The chapters are written by international authorities who are well-recognized for their contributions to the field of endocrinology. Combining physiology and molecular biology, the book will be of value to all basic endocrinologists and to clinicians interested in the underlying regulation of endocrine systems.
