Human Growth Hormone Pharmacology: Basic & Clinical Aspects: Handbooks in Pharmacology and Toxicology

Editat de Kathleen T. Shiverick, Arlan Rosenbloom
en Limba Engleză Hardback – mar 1995
This book addresses a wide range of basic and clinical issues in the physiology and pharmacology of growth hormone. The volume is organized like a textbook. It begins with factors contributing to GH gene expression, the functional relationships of the GH receptor, molecular biological analysis of the GH-GH receptor complex and proceeds to describe the insulin-like growth factor axis. Transgenic models are discussed for analysis of discrete effects. These discussions provide a bridge to clinically oriented discussions of growth abnormalities in GH deficient children, GH insensitivity due to deficiency of the GH receptor, and the concept of aging as a GH/IGF-I deficiency state. Discussions also include the immune system as a source and a responder to GH, GHRH, IGF-I and the effects of GH excess.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

The idea for this volume emerged from a symposium on the clinical and basic aspects of growth hormone organized for the Developmental Pharmacology Section of the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics in 1993. The goal was to create an up-to-date document in this fast-moving field that would provide basic scientists a resource about clinical aspects and clinical investigators a ready reference on basic and investigative issues. We have been fortunate to be able to recruit the leading investigators in the various areas to contribute chapters.
