The endocrine and neuroendocrine system in pregnancy involves
highly complex maternal, fetal and placental mechanisms, which are
critical for the maintenance of pregnancy, the timing of
parturition, for fetal growth and protection from adverse fetal
programming. This timely book summarizes the different endocrine
aspects related to pregnant women, describing how hormones regulate
physiological homeostasis and influence the pathogenesis of
disease. The first section of the book covers the role of specific
hormones in detail, including oxytocin, hCG and estrogen. The
second section discusses gestational disorders such as diabetes,
hypertensive disorders and preeclampsia and how the involvement of
hormones has clinical implications for management. Best practice
for management of endocrine disorders, which can negatively impact
pregnancy, such as thyroid disease and obesity, is also reviewed.
This book is essential for clinicians and scientists looking to
gain knowledge of the role of hormones in pregnancy and how they
can best support patients.
