In an isolated region of the Dominican Republic, some girls turn into boys at puberty. This unusual dynamic of sexual differentiation - referred to as the guevedoce syndrome - is attributable to the subjects' hormone activity and comprises one of the many recent discoveries examined in Hormones: The Messengers of Life.
In this up-to-date, comprehensive survey, Lawrence Crapo explains why hormones exist, how they are produced, how they act at specific target sites, what happens when too few or too many are present, and how these questions came to be posed and answered in the laboratory, the field, and the clinic.
For the layman, student, and scientist, Hormones: The Messengers of life is the definitive presentation of state-of-the-art endocrinology. Emphasizing hormonal communication and the important role played by chemical neurotransmitters and combining the record of early theories and experiments with the most recent discoveries concerning the identity, synthesis, and function of human hormones, Dr. Crapo provides a witty, literate, authoritative account of the way in which these important substances regulate vital life processes.
