Reviews

This second edition includes many newly identified hormones as well as introductory chapters introducing comparative endocrinology as it relates to the molecular evolution of hormones in vertebrates and invertebrates. -- (c) Doody's Review Service, 2021, Uzma N Syed, MDD, reviewer, expert opinion

Author Information

Sado Marine Biological Station, Faculty of Science, Niigata University, Niigata, Japan. His specific research interest involves neuroendocrine regulation of behavioral and physiological functions in diadromous migratory fish, such as salmonids and puffer fish. Graduate School of Integrated Arts and Sciences, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima, Japan. Professor Ukena discovered NPGL, a brain chemical that regulates hunger and fat storage in mammals, shows that hunger and energy consumption mechanisms are even more complex than we realized and has broad clinical and societal implications for the study and treatment of obesity and its associated diseases. Graduate School of Frontier Science, The University of Tokyo, Chiba, Japan. His research interests incluces regulatory mechanisms of feeding behavior in insects at a molecular level. In the laboratory, they use insects to understand the underlying strategies used by animals to survive. A number of the techniques and devices required for such investigation are available for use, including the purification of biologically active compounds, protein and peptide purification, molecular cloning, intracellular signaling, and bioimaging.
