Etienne-Emile Baulieu, the discoverer of neurosteroids, and a panel of distinguished scientists and clinical researchers exhaustively and critically review all facets of neurosteroids involved in behavior, stress, memory, depression, anxiety, aging of the brain, and neurodegenerative diseases. These contributors illuminate the role of neurosteroids in brain development and plasticity and detail their neuromodulatory influence on GABAA, ionotropic glutamate receptors, acetylcholine receptors, sigma receptors, and calcium channels. Clearly pointing the way toward novel pharmaceutical agents that may be of significant therapeutic value, particularly with regard to aging mental functions, Neurosteroids: A New Regulatory Function in the Nervous System offers neurobiologists, psychiatrists, neurosurgeons, pharmacologists, and geriatricians the first comprehensive, state-of-the-art review of these important bioactive molecules.
Abstract: A national survey and evaluation of US and Canada mortality data among insured lives presents extensive tabular data on body weight and height, obesity, and causes of death, by age. The survey covered mortality incidence on almost 4.2 million policies for men and women of ages 15-69 between 1954-1972. The survey indicated that men were heavier than in the previous study (covering 1935-1954), while women were heavier below age 30 but weighed less after age 30. Mortality among overweight people was somewhat lower than in the previous study, but tall men 35% overweight had a slightly higher mortality. Mortality among underweight people was higher in the present study. Mortality among overweight men due to heart and circulatory diseases, coronary artery and hypertensive heart disease, diabetes, and digestive and neural disease was higher than among average weight men. Excess female mortality occured from heart and circulatory diseases in overweight women, with women 50% overweight having higher cancer risk. (wz).
