商品描述
First published in 1986, the influence of hormones secreted or regulated by the pituitary gland on the immune system is examined in detail, including discussions of adrenocorticotropic hormone, glucocorticoids, catecholamines, growth hormone, insulin, prolactin, gonadotropins, sex steroid hormones, and thyroid hormones. The relative importance of various hormones in immunoregulation is considered, and evidence for interaction between the immune and neurohormonal systems is presented. The possible effects of hormonal immunomodulation in reproduction, infections and parasitic disease, autoimmu-nity, and cancer are examined. This comprehensive reference serves both basic and clinical researchers and practitioners in immunology, microbiology, endocrinology, reproduction biology, neurology, oncology, psychology, medicine, and veterinary medicine.

首次出版於1986年，本書詳細探討了由腦下垂體分泌或調節的荷爾蒙對免疫系統的影響，包括對腎上腺皮質促素（adrenocorticotropic hormone）、糖皮質激素（glucocorticoids）、兒茶酚胺（catecholamines）、生長激素（growth hormone）、胰島素（insulin）、催乳素（prolactin）、性腺刺激素（gonadotropins）、性類固醇激素（sex steroid hormones）和甲狀腺激素（thyroid hormones）的討論。書中考慮了各種荷爾蒙在免疫調節中的相對重要性，並提供了免疫系統與神經荷爾蒙系統之間相互作用的證據。還探討了荷爾蒙免疫調節在生殖、感染和寄生蟲疾病、自身免疫、癌症等方面的可能影響。本書是免疫學、微生物學、內分泌學、生殖生物學、神經學、腫瘤學、心理學、醫學及獸醫學等領域的基礎和臨床研究人員及實務工作者的重要參考資料。
作者簡介
Dr. Istvan Berczi is Associate Professor of Immunology of the University of Manitoba Health Sciences Center in Winnipeg, Canada. He received his D.V.M. degree from the Veterinary School of Budapest, Hungary in 1962, and his Ph.D. in 1972, from the Department of Immunology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Manitoba. Dr. Berczi is a member of several professional societies and scientific organizations that include the Canadian Society for Immunology, the American Association of Immunologists, the American Association for Cancer Research, the Transplantation Society, the New York Academy of Sciences and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He authored or co-authored over 60 articles in referred journals, most of which are related to Immunology or Cancer Immunology. He serves on the Advisory Board of the Journal of Experimental and Clinical Cancer Research and has served as advisor to various granting agencies that include the National Cancer Institute at NIH, the Medical Research Council of Canada, the National Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada. He also serves as a reviewer for papers published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal. Dr. Berczi's major research interest lies with hormal regulation of the immune system. Other activities in his laboratory are related to the production of monoclonal antibodies and the immunobiology of cancer. His research program has been supported over the years by the Medical Research Council of Canada, the National Cancer Institute of Canada, the Manitoba Heart Foundation, Winnipeg Clinic Research Institute, the National Institutes of Health, the St. Boniface Research Foundation, the National Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada, and the Arthritis Society of Canada. He has been the recipient of the Visiting Scientist Award by the Medical Research Council of Canada in 1980, in support of his sabbatical research at the Dept, of Tumor Biology, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden.
