✦ Synopsis

First published in 1943, Vitamins and Hormones is the longest-running serial published by Academic Press.

The Series provides up-to-date information on vitamin and hormone research spanning data from molecular biology to the clinic. A volume can focus on a single molecule or on a disease that is related to vitamins or hormones. A hormone is interpreted broadly so that related substances, such as transmitters, cytokines, growth factors and others can be reviewed.

This volume focuses on endocrine disrupters.

Key features:

Expertise of the contributors
Coverage of a vast array of subjects
In depth current information at the molecular to the clinical levels
Three-dimensional structures in color
Elaborate signaling pathways
