内容説明

The central nervous system has a major role in the regulation of many hormonal and regulatory functions. The editors of this postgraduate text have brought together authorities in the field to provide a broad view of the new discipline of neuroendocrinology. They cover not only the classic euroendocrine system such as hypothalamic pituitary function, but also areas infrequently covered in neuroendocrine texts such as the neural control of feeding, drinking, intermediate metabolism and cardiovascular function. Each subject is dealt with from fundamental biochemical, anatomical and physiological principles. The neuroendocrine mechanism is then viewed from a clinical standpoint to illustrate the alteration in the normal control mechanisms that can occur during pathological processes. The approach results in a clear understanding of the mechanisms involved in neuroendocrine control.
