Steroid Hormone Receptors In Health And Disease (Original PDF From Publisher)

By Iain J. McEwan and Raj Kumar

The book Steroid Hormone Receptors in Endocrine Physiology and Diseases discusses how steroid hormones affect human

physiology and how disease pathophysiology is influenced by receptor activity.

The book explores the potential of these receptors as therapeutic targets for the management of diseases ranging from ageing

to cancer, providing direct translation of biochemical concepts into clinical settings for diagnosis and therapy.

In addition to being an excellent resource for postdoctoral and graduate students in science, this book is also a great choice for

medical students who are curious about the functional role that different steroid hormone receptors play in a range of endocrine

related disorders.

It is well recognised that steroid hormone receptors (SHRs) regulate development, differentiation, metabolic homeostasis and

reproduction, all of which are essential to normal physiology.

SHRs are significant therapeutic targets in a number of disorders, including inflammation, autoimmune diseases , hormone

dependent malignancies, osteoporosis and cardiovascular diseases, because of their participation in a variety of pathological

and clinical situations.

explains how steroid hormone receptors play a key role in the physiology and pathogenesis of numerous endocrine-related

disorders.

presents cutting-edge data based on significant field research findings, together with theories and viewpoints regarding

potential future paths for fundamental, translational, and clinical applications

provides a thorough explanation of the difficulties posed by treatments based on steroid hormone receptors.
