Endocrinology VII.

Fülszöveg

this volume, Parathyroid Gland, of the Handbook of Physiology contains a series of expositions dealing with hormonal control of calcium metabolism and bone. Each of the authors has been encouraged to present a detailed analysis of his topic in broad scope rather than provide merely a literature review of a circumscribed area. The student should find each contribution, nevertheless, an important introduction to the literature as well as a summary of information on the topic presented.
Subject matter for the volume is presented under two broad categories. The first part of the volume deals with the structure of bone, mineral metabolism, and ionic control of metabolic processes. The remainder of the volume is devoted to hormonal control by vitamin D metabolites, parathyroid hormone, and calcitonin as well as topics related to synthesis, secretion, and mechanism of action of these hormones. Physiologically all of these systems are closely interrelated in the organism and it is... Tovább

The remainder of the volume is devoted to hormonal control by vitamin D metabolites, parathyroid hormone, and calcitonin as well as topics related to synthesis, secretion, and mechanism of action of these hormones. Physiologically all of these systems are closely interrelated in the organism and it is hoped that generous cross-referencing as well as interdigitation of subject matter between chapters will give full expression to the interrelationships involved. A short introductory chapter has been provided to lend a degree of historical perspective as well as a thumbnail outline of the subject matter herein.
The subject index of this volume of the Handbook was prepared by Constantine J. Gillespie, of the National Institutes of Health Library, Bethesda, Maryland.
