ISBN: 1420061291 ISBN-13: 9781420061291 Publisher: CRC Press OUR PRICE: $209.00 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: October 2008 Annotation: Despite being regarded as the most common toxicological target in the endocrine system, the adrenal gland has been neglected in regulatory testing. Increased interest in adrenocortical toxicology indicates available techniques to examine adrenal endocrine disruption. Examining current techniques and the latest advancements, this book reviews the endocrinology, pharmacology, and toxicology of the adrenal gland. This text provides information on the range of drugs and chemicals that affect adrenocortical function and suggests standardized approaches for "in vivo" and "in vitro" assessment. This volume also presents recent developments in the molecular mechanisms of toxicity. |

| Publisher Description: Despite being regarded as the most common toxicological target in the endocrine system, the adrenal gland has often been neglected in regulatory testing. Adrenal Toxicology addresses the increased interest in adrenocortical toxicology and the need for a resource that makes techniques available to examine adrenal endocrine disruption. Examining current techniques and the latest advancements, Adrenal Toxicology reviews the endocrinology, pharmacology, pathology and toxicology of the adrenal gland. This text provides information on the range of drugs and chemicals that affect adrenocortical function and suggests standardized approaches for in vivo and in vitro assessment. This volume also presents recent developments in the molecular mechanisms of toxicity to the adrenal cortex and medulla, and considers environmental adrenal endocrine disruption in sentinel species.
