Mammalian Endocrinology and Male Reproductive Biology
CRC Press (Verlag)
978-0-367-37745-8 (ISBN)
The book begins by covering sexual dimorphism in the central nervous system; structure, control of secretion and function of GnRH; and gonadotropins of pituitary origin and their role in gonadal functions. This is followed by an account of hormonal regulation of spermatogenesis, and the role of apoptosis in this process.
Subsequent chapters center around epididymis, regulation of growth and function, and sperm motility regulation. The last chapters in the book discuss the structure and function of male accessory sex glands with associated pathologies as well as recent updates in male contraception, mechanism of androgen action, and genomics of male infertility. Wherever necessary, tables and figures have been added for a better understanding. Each chapter is appropriately referenced and contains current information on the latest developments in the field.
Edited by Shio Kumar Singh, PhD, is a professor in the Department of Zoology at Banaras Hindu University in Varanasi, India. He obtained his PhD from Banaras Hindu University. Dr. Singh is the recipient of the direct fellowship of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, and the fellowship in Reproductive Biology of the Rockefeller Foundation (USA) for postdoctoral research in Japan and Austria, respectively. His research interests focus on male reproductive biology, regulation of male fertility and male reproductive toxicology. He has published numerous research papers in journals as well as contributed chapters in various books.
