Abstract: Altered eating behavior and exercise habits frequently affect the menstrual cycle, particularly in young women. This book summarizes the state of art of knowledge of behavioral effects on reproductive endocrine function. An attempt is made to characterize the hypothalamic pulse generator biochemically and to determine factors which influence hypothalamic pulsatility. These new results are then discussed in view of the malfunctioning of the hypothalamic pulse generator in anorectic and bulimic patients. This book offers a new perspective, i.e. from behavior to hormonal mechanisms, unlike most literature dealing with the relationship from the perspective of hormones to behavior.

After the successful introduction of acupuncture to the West, recent advances in analytical methods in chemistry, molecular biology and systems biology – especially the development of the “omic” technologies – have again brought Chinese drugs into the focus of research on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). With more than 1000 publications on the chemistry, molecular biology and pharmacology of TCM drugs in international journals over the last 10 years, Chinese drugs are gaining increasingly reputation and impact. These data offer great opportunities for the development of new pharmaceuticals for various clinical applications. International scientists have compiled relevant and trend setting research results in this book. Topics range from the latest methods of quality and safety assurance by chemical and genetic fingerprints to the development of new pharmaceuticals for a future evidence-based therapy e.g. for cancer, cardiovascular, inflammatory or infectious diseases as well as to recent experimental results on multitarget and synergy research for the preparation of multi-extract-pharmaceuticals from TCM.
