Описание: This book focuses on hormones, and on how they are produced in very diverse regions of the body in humans and animals. The book addresses the different classes of hormones: protein/peptides hormones, steroids and juvenile hormones and hormones like catecholamines, thyroid hormones and melatonin.

Описание: Hormones are vital to the workings of the body, and while many people are aware of what hormones do, few have an appreciation of the nature and importance of the endocrine system. In this Very Short Introduction, Martin Luck explains what hormones are, what they do, where they come from, and how they work.

Описание: The work of Dr. Guillemin, who was awarded the 1977 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine, supported the view that quantita- tive change in GH secretion was the net result of pituitary stimulation and inhibition by the hypothalamic neurohormones, GH releasing hormone (GHRH), and somatostatin (somatotropin release inhibiting factor;

Описание: Sex-Steroid Interactions with Growth Hormone presents the proceedings of an international symposium held from October 22-25 in Naples, Florida. Chapters include discussions of the impact of sex steroids on growth hormone secretion in both children and adults; how sex steroids modulate growth hormone action on target issues;

Описание: The fact that certain adrenal steroid hormones are immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory has been known for many years, and is routinely exploited by physicians. These effects are attributable to glucocorticoid steroids such as cortisol. Pharmacological doses of glucocorticoids inhibit most or all T cell types. However we now know that the effect of exposure to raised physiological levels is mainly to drive developing lymphocyte responses towards a Th2 cytokine profile (interleukin-4 secreting) while suppressing the development ofThi (gamma interferon- secreting) lymphocytes. Only recently have two further regulatory mechanisms become appar- ent. First, these effects of cortisol are balanced by pro-inflammatory and ThI-enhancing effects of another adrenal steroid, dehydroepiandro- sterone sulfate (DHEAS). Second, the activity of cortisol is directly modulated by enzymes in the target organs and lymphoid tissues that convert it into inactive cortisone. This new information leads to the possibility that immunoregulatory steroids could be used by physicians in novel ways. We can envisage steroid combinations that exploit the anti-inflammatory effects of corti- sol, while the Thi-suppressing and Th2-promoting properties of these hormones are opposed by derivatives of DHEAS. Such therapies are already proving effective in animal models of infection, and could revol- utionize treatment of Th2-mediated diseases such as asthma, where the anti-inflammatory effects of cortisol are desirable but the effects on T lymphocyte differentiation are not.

Описание: Furthermore, recent focus on a novel family of GH secretagogues that complement the action of GHRH has shown that in animal models, these compounds have the potential to restore GH secretion in deficient or insufficient states, including growth retardation, obesity, and aging.
