The 3rd edition of Hormones offers a comprehensive treatment of
the hormones of humans all viewed from the context of current
theories of their action in the framework of our current
understanding their physiological actions as well as their
molecular structures, and those of their receptors. This new
edition of Hormones is intended to be used by advanced
undergraduates and graduate students in the biological sciences. It
will also provide useful background information for first year
medical students as they engage in studies which are increasingly
problem-based rather than discipline-focused. As the field of
endocrinology itself has expanded so much in the past two decades,
the up-to-date presentation of the basics presented in this book
will be a solid foundation on which more specialized considerations
can be based. New to this Edition: Coverage, for the first time of
the following hormones; ghrelin, oxyntomodulin, kisspeptin,
adrenomedullin, FGF23, erythropoietin, VIP and extended coverage of
NO. Coverage of the hypothalamus has been integrated with the
anterior pituitary because of the intimate functional and
relationship between the two. The chapter on the thymus has been
eliminated as more properly belonging in a book on immunology.
Consideration of the role of hormones in cancer has been integrated
into the chapters on the relevant hormones. Each of these areas
occupies a unique niche in our understanding of the biological
world and is part of the universality of signaling systems and how
they govern biological systems.
