Gonadotropic Hormones
Hormonal Proteins and Peptides, Volume XI: Gonadotropic Hormones deals with gonad stimulating hormones that cause precocious sexual maturity. This book begins by reviewing the relationship of the chemical structure to the biological activity of gonadotropins and chorionic hormones, followed by a brief presentation on the in vitro bioassay methods. A comprehensive discussion on some aspects of the molecular mechanism of gonadotropin action is also provided. This publication concludes with an analysis of the immunobiology of gonadotropins. This book is intended for endocirnologists, but is also useful for medical practitioners and researchers concerned with gonadotropic hormones.
Contraceptive Research and Development
The "contraceptive revolution" of the 1960s and 1970s introduced totally new contraceptive options and launched an era of research and product development. Yet by the late 1980s, conditions had changed and improvements in contraceptive products, while very important in relation to improved oral contraceptives, IUDs, implants, and injectables, had become primarily incremental. Is it time for a second contraceptive revolution and how might it happen? Contraceptive Research and Development explores the frontiers of science where the contraceptives of the future are likely to be found and lays out criteria for deciding where to make the next R&D investments. The book comprehensively examines tod...
Knobil and Neill's Physiology of Reproduction
The 3rd edition, the first new one in ten years, includes coverage of molecular levels of detail arising from the last decade's explosion of information at this level of organismic organization. There are 5 new Associate Editors and about 2/3 of the chapters have new authors. Chapters prepared by return authors are extensively revised. Several new chapters have been added on the topic of pregnancy, reflecting the vigorous investigation of this topic during the last decade.The information covered includes both human and experimental animals; basic principels are sought, and information at the organismic and molecular levels are presented. *The leading comprehensive work on the physiology of reproduction*Edited and authored by the world's leading scientists in the field*Is a synthesis of the molecular, cellular, and organismic levels of organization*Bibliogrpahics of chapters are extensive and cover all the relevant literature
Nonhuman Primates in Biomedical Research
Nonhuman Primates in Biomedical Research: Biology and Management represents the most comprehensive publication of its type on nonhuman primates. It also provides basic information on the biology and management of primates for anyone responsible for the care and use of these animals. A related book on primate diseases will be published in 1996. - Stresses the following major topics: - Biology and medical management - Reproductive physiology and breeding - Nutrition - Biohazards

Hormonal Proteins and Peptides
Hormonal Proteins and Peptides, Volume I reviews extensively the knowledge on the biology and chemistry of the protein and peptide hormones. This book presents the structures of the various protein and peptide hormones. Organized into five chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the chemistry of several hormonal glycoproteins. This text then presents the research on the purification and chemistry of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Other chapters consider the study of ovine interstitial cell-stimulating hormone, and concentrate to some extent on the very closely related bovine species. This book discusses as well some aspects of the biology of the pituitary interstitial cell-stimulating hormone or luteinizing hormone in mammalian species. The final chapter deals with the correlation of the primary structure with function for a better understanding of the mechanism of action of the hormone at a molecular level. This book is a valuable resource for biologists, biochemists, and research workers.
Sertoli Cell Biology
Sertoli cells assist in the production of sperm in the male reproductive system. This book provides a state-of-the-art update on the topic of sertoli cells and male reproduction. It addresses such highly topical areas as stem cells, genomics, and molecular genetics, as well as provides historical information on the discovery of this type of cell, and the pathophysiology of male infertility. * Presents the state-of-the-art research on topics such as stem cell research, transplantation and genomics* Includes contributions from leaders in the field, including several members of the National Academy of Science
Reproductive Immunology
Reproductive Immunology is a compilation of research articles presented during the VII International Congress of Reproductive Immunology which was held in New Delhi, India on 27-30 October 1998. The articles pertain to the following six major themes: Molecular and Immunological Aspects of Sperm-Egg Interaction Embryonic-Endometrial Cross-Talk Immunobiology of Pregnancy Autoantibodies and Infertility Immunocontraception Mucosal Immunology and Reproductive Tract Infections . The first section deals with our current understanding of various steps involved in fertilization. The functional significance of sperm surface mannosidase and glutathione S-transferases to bind zona pellucida is described...
