International Series of Monographs in Pure and Applied Biology: Modern Trends in Physiological Sciences, Volume 35: Histoenzymology of the Endocrine Glands discusses various concerns in histochemically detectable enzymic activity in the endocrine glands. The title focuses on dealing with the endocrine glands relevant to the vascular system. The text first covers the diencephalic endocrine glands, and then proceeds to tackling the parathyroids and thyroid glands. Next, the selection talks about the enzymic activity in the islets of Langerhans. The text also discusses the adrenal gland, along with the enzymic activity of the gonads. The book will be of great use to students, researchers, and practitioners of endocrinology.

Modern Trends in Physiological Sciences, Volume 36: Thyroiditis and Thyroid Function: Clinical, Morphological, and Physiopathological Studies presents a detailed understanding of the incipient stages of hypothyroidism that have important clinical connections with atherosclerosis and obesity. This book provides an overall view of iodine metabolism and pituitary thyroid relationships. Organized into 15 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the role of the thyroid in converting inorganic iodine into thyroid hormones. This text then discusses the concept of autoimmunity, with emphasis on the immunizing mechanisms to combat the foreign agents invading the body. Other chapters consider the possible relationship with autoimmune processes of the struma fibrosa giant-cell variant. This book discusses as well several case studies concerning chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, Hashimoto's disease, and autoimmune thyroiditis. The final chapter deals with the pathogenic importance of each type of autoimmune thyroiditis. This book is a valuable resource for thyroid specialists, endocrinologist, and physicians.
Acetylcholine: An Approach to the Molecular Mechanism of Action is an in-depth study of neurotransmitter system, with much focus on acetylcholine and its action and the cholinergic synapse. The book, divided into seven chapters, covers the following topics: the function of the cholinergic synapse; the movement of ions across membranes; the excitatory postsynaptic potential; the nature of cholinoreceptors and cholinesterases; the structure of its active centers; and the pattern of arrangement of the receptors of the cholinoreceptive membrane. The book also covers the quantitative evaluation of the action of neurotransmitters; the reactive capacity of the acetylcholine molecule and its effects on nerve endings and nerve fibers; and the release of mediators and hormones. The text is recommended for those who specialize in the fields of biology, medicine, biochemistry, and pharmacology, especially those wish to study about the neurotransmitter system, cholinoreceptors, the cholinergic synapse, the acetylcholine, and its action.
The Testis: Advances in Physiology, Biochemistry, and Function, Volume IV, provides an overview of the state of knowledge in the physiology, biochemistry, and function of the testis. This volume updates those areas of greatest research activity and introduces in a more complete manner those topics which have developed as subject areas in themselves. It includes a chapter on testicular steroidogenesis, which updates and expands the chapter appearing in Volume II. In addition, chapters on the role of FSH in the testis, the specialized (largely endocrine) functions of the Sertoli cells, and the entire account of the tubular hormone inhibin have all been extensions of material in the original chapter on testicular endocrinology. Similarly, separate chapters on blood flow in the testis, fluid secretion, and the blood-testis barrier all report data on subjects largely unsuspected when Volumes I-III were published. Neither the first three volumes nor is the present one intended primarily for the nonprofessional biologist or the popular reader. The coverage should be most useful and informative to professional biologists. It is anticipated that this volume will also be of interest to advanced students of animal biology as an authoritative, comprehensive, and convenient review of significant recent information concerning the testis.
