Reseña del editor:

"Menopause: Biology and Pathobiology" is a comprehensive volume covering all aspects of the biology, anatomy, physiology, pathobiology, and pharmacology of menopause, as well as its diagnosis and management. The book is divided into four sections: Basic Biology, Epidemiology, Menopausal Systems Pathophysiology, and Intervention. Basic Biology covers such fundamentals as ovarian anatomy and physiology, mechanisms of steroid hormone action, chronobiological effects, and premature menopause. Epidemiology includes, among others, chapters on methodology challenges in the study of menopause, how to distinguish the effects of age from those of menopause, and a discussion of the key differences in demographics, environmental factors, and ethnicity in the menopause experience. The Pathophysiology section contains chapters on menopause and its various effects on the body, including sexuality, skin, brain, the cardiovascular system, cancers, and mood. The final section includes detailed chapters on intervention and management techniques, with topics including alternative therapies to hormone replacement, exercise, and estrogens and osteoporosis. Among its key features, this book: presents a comprehensive, research-oriented approach to menopause; covers everything from basic biology to pathophysiology to intervention therapies; takes a multidisciplinary approach that is useful for researchers and clinicians in many fields; presents the latest basic and clinical data; contains complete references that allow the reader to quickly locate relevant information; and is written and edited by true experts in the field.
