Endocrine Methods contains descriptions of contemporary and cutting-edge methodologies in various areas of endocrinology, including receptor theory and immunologic techniques for endocrine research. The book presents step-by-step procedures easily available to study the endocrine system and includes experts in their respective fields as contributors. The book presents step-by-step procedures for many important areas of endocrine target organs. Endocrine Methods serves as a valuable methodological resource for investigators using endocrine methods. Includes comprehensive, yet rapid methodical procedures Offers a wide spectrum of assays including both in vivo and in vitro systems important to the several areas of hormone research Describes several techniques for studying receptors, examining osteoblast activity, and measuring parathyroid hormones Encompasses a host of important research tools that can be utilized by the toxicologist and other biomedical scientists.
