Endocrine and Hormonal Toxicology Edited by Philip W. Harvey, Kevin
C. Rush and Andrew Cockburn AgrEvo UK Ltd, Saffron Walden, UK This
is the first book to consider the integrated role of the classical
endocrine system and hormones (including those from tissues outside
the classical endocrine system) in toxicological responses.
Although focusing on the latest knowledge on endocrine glands as
target organs and the mechanistic and molecular basis for toxicity
in these organs, Endocrine and Hormonal Toxicology has been written
to cover toxicological responses at the whole body level mediated
by endocrine or hormonal mechanisms. This whole body, multi--organ
approach significantly broadens the relevance of this volume to
toxicologists. Following an introductory section on the types of
endocrine toxicity including primary, secondary and indirect
mechanisms, the next section deals with endocrine organs as
toxicological targets. International contributions focus on the
pituitary, thyroid and parathyroids, adrenals, testes, ovaries and
the pancreas, and comparative endocrine carcinogenesis. A third
section of the book develops the whole body approach, in which
chapters are devoted to hormonal mechanisms of toxicity to the
immune, nervous, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and reproductive
systems, as well as to the liver, kidney and skin. The final
section covers human and environmental health perspectives
discussing endocrine disrupting chemicals, hormonal mechanisms in
breast cancer and current regulatory trends in endocrine and
hormonal toxicology. The comprehensive nature of Endocrine and
Hormonal Toxicology makes it accessible to both specialist and
general toxicologists, and to those within the fields of
endocrinology, pharmacology and pathology.
