It has been known for some time that certain types of cells, including those in reproduction tissues, produce substances that act by autocrine and paracrine means to control cellular functions, including promotion and inhibition of cell growth. This volume is based on a symposium held under the sponsorship of the World Health Organization to review the many newly recognised growth factors controlling physiological functions of the reproductive tract. The contributions presented here offer new and expanded insights into the functioning of the reproductive tract, examining many basic physiological and molecular mechanisms with potential in the development of new approaches to fertility regulation. Promising areas for further research are identified, and new systems for in vitro study of growth factors discussed.

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. 1st Edition. Hardcover, xxii + 380 pages, NOT ex-library. Some minor gentle handling wear only, book is fresh, clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This WHO-sponsored symposium volume surveys autocrine and paracrine growth-factor signaling across the reproductive tract and its implications for fertility regulation. Contributions integrate molecular and physiological perspectives on germ-cell proliferation and differentiation (including proto-oncogene expression in oogenesis and spermatogenesis), mechanisms of steroid-hormone action, and local regulatory systems in ovary and testis. Topical chapters cover IGF-1, inhibin/activin, TGF-beta, EGF, renin-angiotensin signaling, luteal-cell regulation, and Leydig-cell function; immunologic interfaces include interleukin-1 in reproduction and macrophage mediators in endometriosis-associated infertility. The collection highlights in vitro models and identifies research avenues relevant to contraceptive development and reproductive endocrinology. N° de réf. du vendeur 011693
