Opis

First published in 1943, Vitamins and Hormones is the longest-running serial published by Academic Press. The Series provides up-to-date information on vitamin and hormone research spanning data from molecular biology to the clinic. A volume can focus on a single molecule or on a disease that is related to vitamins or hormones. A hormone is interpreted broadly so that related substances, such as transmitters, cytokines, growth factors and others can be reviewed. This volume focuses on endocrine disrupters.

• Expertise of the contributors
• Coverage of a vast array of subjects
• In depth current information at the molecular to the clinical levels
• Three-dimensional structures in color
• Elaborate signaling pathways
