Hormones, Metabolism and the Benefits of Exercise


Free Download Bruce Spiegelman, "Hormones, Metabolism and the Benefits of Exercise"
English | 2017 | ISBN: 1013269527, 1013269535 | PDF | pages: 108 | 2.0 mb
The world is faced with an epidemic of metabolic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. This is due to changes in dietary habits and the decrease in physical activity. Exercise is usually part of the prescription, the first line of defense, to prevent or treat metabolic disorders. However, we are still learning how and why exercise provides metabolic benefits in human health. This open access volume focuses on the cellular and molecular pathways that link exercise, muscle biology, hormones and metabolism. This will include novel "myokines" that might act as new therapeutic agents in the future.

Plant Peptide Hormones and Growth Factors


Free Download Plant Peptide Hormones and Growth Factors
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1071635107 | 314 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 32 MB
This book describes state-of-the-art approaches for identification and functional characterization of plant peptide hormones and growth factors. Chapters guide readers through protocols for computational identification of novel signaling peptides and phytocytokines, analysis of post-translational maturation events, isolation of mature peptides from plant tissues, peptide bioassays, in vivo and in vitro analysis of peptide activity, peptide receptor identification and interaction analysis, and quantitative assessment of peptide ligand binding to cognate receptors. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and key tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Hormones and Social Behavior (Research and Perspectives in Endocrine Interactions)


Free Download Donald W. Pfaff, Claude Kordon, Philippe Chanson, "Hormones and Social Behavior (Research and Perspectives in Endocrine Interactions)"
English | 2008 | pages: 210 | ISBN: 3540792864 | PDF | 2,3 mb
Advances in 21st Century neuroscience and endocrinology will permit complex problems of medicine and public health to be elucidated. Among these problems are failures of normal social and sexual behaviors. As it turns out, these behaviors are influenced by hormone actions in the human brain using mechanisms that we have inherited from lower animals. This book concentrates on two major topics: First, the molecular and neural biology of hormone actions relevant to normal social behaviors; and Second, the clinical treatment of human patients in whom these behaviors have gone wrong.

Moods, Emotions, and Aging Hormones and the Mind-Body Connection


Free Download Phyllis J. Bronson, "Moods, Emotions, and Aging: Hormones and the Mind-Body Connection"
English | ISBN: 1442221011 | 2013 | 156 pages | EPUB | 1489 KB
Despite the backlash against hormone replacement therapy, the depletion of natural hormones in the female body continues to be a problem for women at middle age and beyond. Remedying the problem has proved difficult for women and doctors who are unaware of, or reluctant to prescribe, bioidential hormones-those that match identically the hormones made naturally in the human body. Moods, Emotions, and Aging: Hormones and the Mind Body Connection explains the vital link for women between hormones, mood, and wellness. It outlines the dramatic hormonal shifts that women undergo in the years before menopause, and presents an approach to combining bioidentical hormone therapy with nutrients to achieve mood balance during midlife and beyond. Phyllis Bronson explains the differences between synthetic and bioidentical hormones, and offers vignettes of women who have used bioidentical hormones to help them deal with the changes that accompany natural hormone loss.
