A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This is the first book to deal comprehensively with endocrine toxicology. It covers the whole spectrum of known toxicant effects on the endocrine system ranging from small disturbances in hormonal secretion to full endocrine neoplasia. In each chapter, internationally recognised authorities have addressed basic endocrine physiology, current techniques for studying endocrine toxicity in vivo and in vitro, known xenobiotic-induced toxicity phenomena and the latest scientific advances in understanding the underlying molecular and cellular events. Consideration is given to important issues such as dietary factors which influence endocrine toxicity, species differences in sensitivity to toxicants, and the toxicity of hormones and drugs. The volume provides a sound basis for understanding the scientific aspects of this complex and important area of toxicology and will be a useful source of information for all those working in this field.

Revue de presse

' ... well-balanced and well-written ... The book is to be recommended as an introduction to toxicology for the endocrinologists, but probably is of greater value as an introduction to endocrinology for the toxicologist!' Barry Furr, The Endocrinologist

'This is such an excellent volume that the appreciation printed on the back cover could be repeated by any reviewer without hesitation. It is the first target toxicity volume dedicated to endocrine toxicology and it covers the whole spectrum of known toxic effects on the endocrine system.' L. Magos, Journal of Applied Toxicology
