{"product_id":"9781483219486","title":"Recent Progress in Hormone Research: Proceedings of the 1970 Laurentian Hormone Conference","description":"Recent Progress in Hormone Research, Volume 27 covers the proceedings of the 1970 Laurentian Hormone Conference held in Mont Tremblant, Quebec, Canada on August 29-September 4, 1970.  \u003cbr\u003eThe book discusses the x-ray analysis and the structure of insulin; spontaneous hyperglycemia and\/or obesity in laboratory rodents; and the biological properties of the growth hormone-like factor from the plerocercoid of Spirometra mansonoides. The text also describes studies on human chorionic gonadotropin; studies on the structure of thyrotropin and its relationship to luteinizing hormone; and ultimobranchial follicles in the thyroid glands of rats and mice. The use of antibodies for characterization of gonadotropins and steroids; the biosynthesis of pregnenolone; and the metabolism and protein binding of sex steroids in target organs are also considered.  \u003cbr\u003eThe book further tackles the regulation of gene expression in Escherichia coli by cyclic AMP; the mechanism of action of ACTH; and the role of vitamin D and its relationship to parathyroid hormone and calcitonin. The text then encompasses the production and secretion of testicular steroids; the factors affecting the secretion of steroids from the transplanted ovary in the sheep; and the pilot gland approach to the study of insulin secretory dynamics. The analysis of the response to ACTH by rat adrenal in a flowing system is also looked into. \u003cbr\u003eBiochemists, physiologists, pathologists, endocrinologists, people working in laboratories of cancer research, chemical crystallography, and molecular biophysics will find the book invaluable.","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47144703262960,"sku":"9781483219486","price":93.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781483219486_p0.jpg?v=1763626832","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781483219486","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
