Michael Wilkinson: Clinical Neuroendocrinology, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Clinical Neuroendocrinology: An Introduction, second edition, is thoroughly updated and continues to fulfil the continued need for a concise, introductory description of the human neuroendocrine system in health and disease. The clinical implications of basic human neuroendocrinology are described and presented along with real clinical case studies and a selection of review questions in each chapter to help cement readers' knowledge. Recent important advances are revealed in new figures and up-to-date references from the clinical literature, such as the discovery of kisspeptin, its use in the treatment of amenorrhea and its application in IVF. The authors also describe the development of GLP-1 agonists, which are now available for the treatment of obesity. This is a key text for senior medical students deciding on a specialty, as well as residents and clinical fellows who are embarking on their chosen fields. The book also provides crucial clinical context for biomedical science graduate students and clinicians.
