This set provides detailed information on the biology and cellular physiology of all known hormones in vertebrates, insects, and plants. Authored by researchers from around the world, the 300 articles focus on the function and physiology of specific hormones, their receptors and signaling pathways, and important diseases associated with deficiency or excess. Written on a scholarly level, each article provides an overview of the topic, a brief glossary of important terms, cross references to related articles, and a current bibliography for further reading. Many of the terms and definitions are repeated in the extensive glossary provided at the end of the set. Although the articles are arranged alphabetically by title, the extensive index enables the user to pinpoint specific information. Users expecting to see a general overview of each hormone will be disappointed. Geared toward students and researchers in the life sciences, this set focuses on the physiology of hormones at the cellular and molecular levels. It differs from most endocrinology handbooks and textbooks in that its scope goes beyond animal hormones to include insects and plants, thus making it a unique and comprehensive reference resource for a rapidly changing field.
