    About this ebook

    Recent Advances in Steroid Biochemistry contains the proceedings of the Second International Symposium of the Journal of Steroid Biochemistry. Separating 38 papers as chapters, this book discusses the partial purification of steroid-receptor complexes; enzymatic techniques in steroid assay; mass fragmentography of steroid hormones; biological consequences of 18-hydroxylation; and steroidogenesis in adrenal cells. This text also explores the regulation of steroidogenesis in testis; androgen binding proteins in different testis compartments; nuclear acceptor sites for glucocorticoid receptors; estrogen receptors in the pancreas; and molecular mechanisms of steroid hormone action.
