Description
Steroid hormones and growth factors are important in the regulation of normal and neoplastic cell function. This volume surveys what we know of steroid receptor structure and function, from basic molecular biology of steroid hormone action to clinical implications of steroid metabolism. Topics covered include steroid receptors and their genes, steroid production, receptor activation, and the physiological effects of steroid action, from alterations in glycoprotein processing to control of cell differentiation.
