A panel of expert clinical and basic investigators summarize the state-of-the-art in the use of transgenic technology in a broad range of endocrinological applications. Up-to-date and comprehensive, Transgenics in Endocrinology reviews the most recent developments in the analysis of endocrine physiology and its pathologies through mouse models, and provides a host of creative approaches to understand better the complex processes that are characteristic of hormonal systems.
