This book focuses on hormones, and on how they are produced in very
diverse regions of the body in humans and animals. But hormones can
be found not only in vertebrates, but also in insects, shellfish,
spiders, mollusks, even at the origin of metazoan diversification
and exhibit the same pathways of synthesis. The book addresses the
different classes of hormones: protein/peptides hormones, steroids
and juvenile hormones and hormones like catecholamines, thyroid
hormones and melatonin. It also discusses the types of hormone
receptors, the majority of which are heptahelical G-protein coupled
receptors or nuclear receptors. Particular attention is paid to the
organs where hormones are created, with specifics on hormonal
production and release, while a dedicated chapter details hormonal
regulation from very simple to highly complex schemes. The
remarkable kinetics of hormones production are also shown, before
the book is rounded out by chapters on evolution in the endocrine
system, the genetics of endocrine diseases and doping.
