Handbook of Hormones: Comparative Endocrinology for Basic and
Clinical Research, Second Edition presents a catalog of fundamental
information on the structure and function of hormones from basic
biology to clinical use, offering a rapid way to obtain specific
facts about the chemical and molecular characteristics of hormones,
their receptors, signaling pathways, and the biological activities
they regulate. The book's stellar editorial board, affiliated with
the Japan Society for Comparative Endocrinology, brings together
authors that present a compelling structure of each hormone with a
consistent presentation that provides a primer surrounding the
plethora of hormones that now exist. Comparative endocrinology
continues to rapidly expand and new information about hormones is
being produced almost daily, making it important to stay
up-to-date. Hormone, paracrine, and autocrine factors have been
identified as key players in a range of different systems,
including immune, musculoskeletal and cardiovascular. Frontiers
between disciplines are being blurred and many scientists in fields
other than endocrinology are interested in hormones. Scientists now
have the unprecedented opportunity to look from invertebrates to
vertebrate and identify novel regulatory factors and understand
their function and how they determine an organism's physiology and
survival.
First published in 1943, Vitamins and Hormones is the
longest-running serial published by Academic Press. In the early
days of the serial, the subjects of vitamins and hormones were
quite distinct. The Editorial Board now reflects expertise in the
field of hormone action, vitamin action, X-ray crystal structure,
physiology, and enzyme mechanisms.
Under the capable and qualified editorial leadership of Dr. Gerald
Litwack, Vitamins and Hormones continues to publish cutting-edge
reviews of interest to endocrinologists, biochemists,
nutritionists, pharmacologists, cell biologists, and molecular
biologists. Others interested in the structure and function of
biologically active molecules like hormones and vitamins will, as
always, turn to this series for comprehensive reviews by leading
contributors to this and related disciplines.

Intended for any healthcare professional working with surgical
patients, including medical students, residents, surgeons and
internists, nurses, dieticians, pharmacists, and physical
therapists, The Practical Handbook of Perioperative Metabolic and
Nutritional Care focuses on topics from the history of surgery and
metabolism, to organic response to stress. Based on clinical
processes, the author explores screening, assessment, and the
impact of nutritional status on outcomes, in addition to
investigating nutritional requirements, including macronutrients
and micronutrients. Chapters examine wound healing as well as
metabolic and nutritional surgical preconditioning, including
coverage of preoperative counseling, preoperative nutrition, and
preoperative fasting. Physical exercise is addressed, as well as
nutritional therapy in the form of oral supplements, and enteral
and parenteral approaches. Additional topics explored include
nutrition therapy complications and immunomodulatory nutrients,
pro, pre and symbiotics, postoperative oral, enteral and parenteral
nutrition, enteral access, vascular access, fluid therapy, and
more. With up-to-date information, practical and cost-effective
data, this resource is critical for translating theory to practice.
While the health consequences and mechanisms by which visceral fat
causes disease are well-studied, relatively less is known about
ectopic fat, its patterns of deposition and its effects on the
pathoetiology of type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, and
cardiovascular disease. Visceral and Ectopic Fat: Risk Factors for
Type 2 Diabetes, Atherosclerosis, and Cardiovascular Disease covers
the wealth of literature that has been amassed over the past decade
on this topic. This reference brings all the research and clinical
data together in one volume and helps clinicians and academic
researchers understand more thoroughly the underlying mechanisms
and interrelation between fat depots and ectopic fat stores in
relation to health and disease. It showcases some of the recent
developments in adipose tissue biology, particularly on the impact
of interventional strategies - bariatric surgery, liposuction,
physical and dietary intervention - of which information is desired
among health specialists and policy makers.
