The Biochemistry of Polypeptide Hormones is intended to meet the needs particularly of advanced undergraduates, preclinical students and postgraduates, and provide an introduction to the research literature. All the main groups of polypeptide hormones are covered, and special chapters deal with structure-function relationships, hormone receptors, the role of second messengers and the applications of recombinant DNA technology. The authors have wide experience in teaching biochemical endocrinology to undergraduates and postgraduates in biochemistry, physiology and medicine, and the book provides a companion text to courses of this kind. It is also intended to be a useful introduction to graduates entering the field of hormone biochemistry from other disciplines.
