Steroid Hormone Regulation of the Brain: Proceedings of an International Symposium Held at the Wenner-Gren Center, Stockholm, 27-28 October 1980Kjell Fuxe, Jan-Åke Gustafsson, Lennart Wetterberg Steroid Hormone Regulation of the Brain focuses on the advancement of knowledge of the properties of brain steroid receptors and steroid target nerve cells, including the actions of gonadal steroids, adrenocortical steroids, and androgenic steroids on the brain. The selection features the work of authors who have inspiringly conducted extensive studies on the action of steroid hormones. The book starts with discussions that point out that steroid hormones not only function through intracellular steroid receptors, but possibly through steroid membrane actions as well. Studies to support this cl ... |
