Vasopressin and Oxytocin: From Genes to Clinical Applications: From Genes to Clinical Applications

Vasopressin and Oxytocin: From Genes to Clinical Applications: From Genes to Clinical Applications The articles comprising this volume were first presented at the World Congress on Neurohypophysial Hormones held in Bordeaux, France on September 8-12, 2001.\n\nThis conference brought together more than 170 scientists from 18 countries who belong to the different fields of interest representing research in the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system.Two neurohypophysial neurohormones, oxytocin and vasopressin, exert a variety of central and peripheral actions and thus involve different scientific domains, which too often, even today, do not always find the appropriate occasion to interact. This volume is composed of chapters dealing with topics varying from basic and clinical neurosciences and neuroendocrinology, to reproductive, renal, cardiovascular physiology and pathology. It encompasses all areas of current neurohypophysial research and should be of vital interest as an integrative reference volume to specialized investigators and as an excellent introductory text to students, scientists and clinicians not yet closely familiar with the field. To ensure novelty and to make sure that all topics of current importance were covered, plenary and symposium speakers as well as poster presentations concentrated on recent advances made in the last few years.Vasopressin and Oxytocin: From Genes to Clinical Applications: From Genes to Clinical Applications is written by Poulain, D.; Oliet, S.; Theodosis, D. and published by Elsevier Science.
