Acting principally to control patterns of gene expression, nuclear receptors play vital roles during embryonic development and in the regulation of metabolic and reproductive functions in adult life, which proves this superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors to be a crucial part of biological life. In The Nuclear Receptor Superfamily: Methods and Protocols, expert researchers describe a range of molecular, structural and cell biological techniques currently used to investigate the structure-function of nuclear receptors, together with experimental approaches that may lead to...

This volume provides a brief resume of the history of testosterone research, from the early pioneers through to the most recent advances in the field. We discover how steroid hormones were first identified and how testosterone was shown to be essential for male development. Moving forward we explore how and where testosterone is produced, and how the body controls testosterone production. We then investigate the impact testosterone has on different body systems both during their development and function, and how perturbation of testosterone action is associated with disease. We complete our...

This volume aims to describe a complementary range of molecular, cell biological, and in vivo protocols used to investigate the structure-function of nuclear receptors, together with experimental approaches that may lead to new drugs to selectively target nuclear receptor-associated diseases. The Nuclear Receptor Superfamily, Second Edition will benefit those starting out in the nuclear receptor research field as well as to more established researchers who wish to apply different methods to a particular receptor or research problem. Written in the highly successful Methods...
