Steroid Hormone Receptors In Health And Disease 1th Edition (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.
