Neuroendocrine Perspectives: Proceedings of the Third Congress of the European Neuroendocrine Association, September 9-11, 1987, London, U.K.

This volume focuses on several expanding areas of neuroendocrine research, including the regulation of neuropeptide gene expression, mechanisms of action of pituitary growth factors, brain hormones and the immune system, neuroendocrine aspects of cardiovascular control, and the novel brain-gut peptide neuromedin U. Internationally recognized contributors provide wide-ranging perspectives on gonadotropin regulation, growth hormone neuroregulation, and the control and function of opiate systems.
