Opis

> Completely rewritten, Cytokines: Stress and Immunity, Second Edition offers 16 entirely new chapters, which document developments across a number of fields, including immunology, pharmacology, and psychiatry. Delving into the cytokine relation to stress and depression, this seminal work details all clinically relevant cytokines, including interleukins, interferons, enkephalins, and endorphins. It explores cytokine-hormone interactions and the clinical implications of those interactions on the immune, endocrine, and central nervous systems, clearly documenting how cytokine activity is implicated in fueling the vicious circle of depression and illness in a variety of mental and physical diseases.
