This book follows an up to date authoritative style on the subject of parathyroid glands and their disorder. This book seeks to expand the horizon of parathyroid hormone use and provides in depth information on surgical techniques for managing its disorder. There are four sections on anatomy, function, disorder and treatment. The first three show how these areas are interconnected and the fourth on techniques for managing parathyroid disease. While short enough to be read as a treatise on parathyroid glands it is also authoritative enough to be used as a reference text.

Metabolism represents a complex system characterised by a high variability in metabolites' structure, concentration and regulation ratio. Such variability is observed at different metabolic scales going from metabolites to metabolic profiles via chemical reactions and metabolic pathways, as well as under static or dynamic aspects. Variations in these components are due to apparition-disappearance, level increase-decrease and/or relative changes in weights or contributions leading to different structural, functional and evolutive states of the metabolic system. This book presents a variety of different computational approaches of the variability in metabolic systems.

Why Do I Still Have Thyroid Symptoms? was written to address the true causes of hypothyroidism in this country and how to manage them. The vast majority of hypothyroid cases are caused by Hashimoto's disease, an autoimmune reaction, and are being treated inappropriately or misdiagnosed by the standard health care model. Through exhaustive research and clinical experience, Dr. Kharrazian has discovered the many causes of hypothyroidism, including autoimmunity, and how to manage it.

Dana's Disease is a father's revealing discovery of the effects of diabetes from carefree beginning through a three-year journey of suffering, triumph, and personal awakening.

Fully understanding the complex process of the integration and control of metabolism in cellular organisms requires knowledge in several fundamental concepts. Drawing on nearly two decades of innovative studies, Doctors Naa Adamafio, Laud Okine, and Jonathan Adjimani specifically target the intricacies of metabolism and provide a comprehensive approach to the subject.

The text is divided into three essential areas of study: Fundamentals of metabolic control--dealing with the basic concepts of metabolic control and the role played by regulatory enzymesControl of cellular metabolism--including the regulation of the metabolism of major biomolecules, such as carbohydrates, lipids, and compounds containing nitrogenThe integration of metabolism--observing the methods in which various metabolic pathways within and between tissues and organs are integratedWhether you are an undergraduate student in biochemistry, a medical student in your preclinical years, or a teacher in the subject area, "Integration and Control of Metabolism" is a valuable medical resource.

Issues authoritative recommendations concerning nutritional requirements and safe ranges of intake for nineteen trace elements important to human health. Representing the consensus reached by a large number of international experts, the book aims to give scientists and those responsible for nutrition planning a solid basis for assessing dietary intakes of trace elements, detecting deficiencies and excesses, and recognizing the clinical features of related disorders. Throughout, guidelines and advice respond to greatly expanded knowledge about the significant impact that even subtle differences in trace elements can have on health and disease. The core of the report, which has three parts, provides authoritative recommendations on the nutritional significance, requirements for health, and safe range of daily intakes for nineteen trace elements in three categories. These include essential elements, such as iodine and zinc, probably essential elements, such as manganese and silicon, and potentially toxic elements, such as fluoride, lead, cadmium and mercury, which may also have some essential functions at low levels.

Somatic growth is a crucial component in the development of an organism. Growth is manifested in many levels during an organisms lifespan; rapid intrauterine growth is followed by extrauterine development that subsides with age. The control of growth is exerted via particularly complex and multifaceted mechanisms that affect every cell of the body, regulating the balance between the anabolic and catabolic processes, and it is intimately entwined with almost every physiological function. The central component of this regulatory system is the hypothalamo-hypophyseal axis that controls not only all of the endocrine organs of the body, but also regulates the growth of every cell via growth hormone (GH) release. It would certainly exceed the scope of the present book to summarize the growth-related complex peripheral actions of the various hormonal systems of the hypothalamo-hypophyseal axis. GH secretion is modulated primarily by the somatotropic axis, which is one of the functional components of the hypothalamo-hypophyseal axis and integrates the stimulatory and inhibitory actions of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) and somatostatin upon GH release, respectively. Therefore, in the present volume we attempt to give an overview of the regulatory components of a somatotropic axis with a special emphasis on the regulatory input provided by hypothalamic hormonal and neurotransmitter/neuromodulator systems. Since it is particularly complicated to extrapolate animal data to human physiology, the authors focus on human results while animal studies are detailed only if they provide a better understanding to how growth is regulated in humans. This process has proven to be difficult due to the scarcity of human studies in this field.
