The Comparative physiology of regulatory peptides

Author:Susanne Holmgren

Summary:This is a collection of essays brought together to review the field. They cover the distribution and function of regulatory peptides, such as Bombesin, Neurotensin, VIP, the Tachykinins and others, in detail and in a comparative fashion. Integrated cardiovascular systems are also covered.
