Hormonal Steroids: Proceedings of the Sixth International Congress on Hormonal Steroids

by V. H. T. James (Editor), J. R. Pasqualini (Editor)

Overview

Hormonal Steroids presents the proceedings of the Sixth International Congress on Hormonal Steroids, held in Jerusalem, Israel in September 1982. The book covers a wide range of topics on the field of hormonal steroids research. The topics discussed include the history of steroid-protein interaction; enzyme induction by estrogen; steroids and the immune system; correlative morphological and biochemical investigations on the stromal tissue of the human prostate; analysis of intact steroid conjugates by secondary ion mass spectrometry (including fabms) and by gas chromatography; and the role of lipoproteins in steroidogenesis by human luteinized granulosa cells in culture. Biochemists, pathologists, pharmacologists, and medical and pharmaceutical researchers will find the book a good source of insight.
