Signal Transduction in Testicular Cells

Featuring aspects of the molecular endocrinology of the testis with emphasis on signal transduction and gene regulation, this text covers basic research and clinical andrology. The work presents subjects such as hormonal gene regulation and post-meiotic gene expression.

Featuring aspects of the molecular endocrinology of the testis, with emphasis on signal transduction and gene regulation, this text covers basic research and clinical andrology. The work presents subjects such as hormonal gene regulation and post-meiotic gene expression. Also covered are: molecular endocrinology and pathophysiology of GnRH deficiency and the LH and FSH receptors; components of cyclic nucleotide-dependent signalling systems; regulation and pathophysiology of steroidogenesis and androgen action; tyrosine kinase-mediated signalling in germ cells and sperm; and research in andrology and novel methods for in vitro fertilization.
