Description
Reviews general mechanisms of signal transduction of hormones and autacoids, then describes the kidney-related actions of hormones and autacoids in terms of molecular biology and cell physiology. Features: * Vital information for understanding renal cell responses to compounds * First book to publish clinical implications or correlations, hitherto information was only available from journals
