Advances in Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology

Klappentext Volume 2 has focused on aspects of the pituitary gland both anterior (growth hormone and prolactin receptors, and GH action) and posterior (vasopressin) pituitary. In addition, thyroid cancer and steroidogenic enzymes and precocious puberty are covered. Finally, the "hot topics" include leptin and growth factor signaling. Zusammenfassung Focuses on aspects of the pituitary gland both anterior (growth hormone and prolactin receptors! and GH action) and posterior (vasopressin) pituitary. This work covers thyroid cancer and steroidogenic enzymes and precocious puberty. It also covers leptin and growth factor signaling. Inhaltsverzeichnis Contents. List of Contributors. Preface (D.
