The Endocrine System: The endocrine pancreas and regulation of metabolism by Leonard S. Jefferson,P. Michael Conn,H. Maurice Goodman,Alan D. Cherrington,Jack L. Kostyo Pdf

This comprehensive and authoritative reference work examines the role of the endocrine pancreas in the regulation of fat, protein, and carbohydrate metabolism. The effects of hormones are broadly examined with emphasis on the gene, the cell and the organism as a whole. The functions of the pancreatic hormones in the integrated response of the body to various physiologic challenges are discussed. Following a general introduction by Sir Philip Randle, the book is divided into four sections:1. The Islets of Langerhans, 2. Target Tissues for Metabolic Regulatory Hormones, 3. Influence of Hormones Acting as Acute Metabolic Regulators on the Actions of Islet Hormones, and 4. Integrated Hormonal Responses to Physiological Challenges. The fourth part covers many interesting conditions such as pregnancy, aging, obesity, hypoglycemia, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and starvation.

Diabetes and the Endocrine Pancreas by W. Montague Pdf

This book attempts to explore the contribution that biochemistry has made, thus far, to our understanding of the endocrine pancreas and its relationship to diabetes mellitus. It was written with the aim of using an important clinical problem to illustrate, to medical students, that there are many aspects of the biochemistry taught in the early years which have direct relevance to clinical medicine. Furthermore, it is hoped that such information might provide biochemistry students with a frame work on which to base further studies. To this end a selection of recent references has been placed at the end of each chapter. In spite of considerable advances in our understanding of diabetes mellitus, it is still a disease which many physicians do not seem to com prehend. This is in part related to their lack of understanding of the molecular biology of the disease. Advances in this area have been dramatic in recent years and we are now able to offer a molecular basis for a rational approach to therapy. It may be therefore that this book will provide some physicians with the information they require to help them gain a deeper understanding of the disease. I hope that everyone who reads this book is able to capture some of the fascination that the islets of Langerhans hold for myself and the many other workers actively engaged in trying to unravel their mys teries.

The Endocrine Pancreas and Juvenile Diabetes by David M. Klachko Pdf

Dr. Robert L. Jackson, Professor of Child Health at the Uni versity of Missouri-Columbia, decided to retire from clinical practice in 1977 and the Department of Child Health planned a con ference in his honor. The Thirteenth Annual MidweSt Conference on Endocrinology and Metabolism also was in the planning stages and scheduled for two days in the fall. It seemed appropriate to com bine the two into an expanded three-day conference. In view of Dr. Jackson's international reputation in the study and care of children with diabetes mellitus, the conference topic was not dif ficult to find. Experts in this field were delighted to be asked to speak at a conference in Dr. Jackson's honor. We selected a number of excellent speakers to survey the physiology and pathophy siology of pancreatic hormones and their effects in diabetes mel litus, to discuss current knowledge of the microvascular complica tions of the disease, and to put it all into the proper historical perspective of where we have been and where we are going. We think the conference achieved its objective to pay meaningful trib ute to a distinguished member of the scientific community. As with any conference, the conversion of the presentations and discussions to the printed page is a long and arduous process. Many manuscripts were completed well after the conference and references often are more recent than the date of the conference.

The Endocrine System, Third Edition by Salvatore Blair,Lynette Rushton Pdf

Much like the nervous system, the endocrine system relays important communication signals throughout the body. The endocrine system uses chemical signals known as hormones, which are produced and stored in special glands in the body. Different glands produce specialized hormones and release them into the bloodstream. From there, these hormones can travel directly to the tissues and organs and help regulate bodily functions. In The Endocrine System, Third Edition, learn how this chemical messaging system is vital to the body’s growth, metabolism, and sexual development. Packed with full-color photographs and illustrations, this absorbing book provides students with sufficient background information through references, websites, and a bibliography.

Metabolic Regulation by Keith N. Frayn Pdf

In this volume, the subject of metabolic regulation is placed in a human context. The components of food are followed as they are processed from ingestion through digestion and absorption to their distribution to the tissues, storage and mobilization and ultimate oxidation. The way in which these processes are regulated by the endocrine and nervous systems is described, as well as the metabolic adjustments necessitated by extreme conditions such as fasting and strenuous exercise.
