Integrative neuroendocrine control of the gonadotropic and somatotropic axes in childhood,
puberty, and young adulthood proceeds via multiple convergent and divergent pathways in …

As a frequently detected organophosphate ester in various environmental media, the toxic
effects of 2-ethylhexyl diphenyl phosphate (EHDPHP) on aquatic organisms of different …

Endocrine glands communicate with remote target cells via a mixture of continuous and

Abstract Benzophenone-3 (BP3), an organic UV filter widely used in personal care products,
is ubiquitous in aquatic environments. Previous studies have shown that BP3 can interfere …

Neuroendocrinology of the aging (male) gonadal and (male and female) somatotropic axes
will be reviewed. A companion chapter discusses reproductive hormonal changes in aging …

Aging results in insidious decremental changes in hypothalamic, pituitary and gonadal
function. The foregoing three main anatomic loci of control are regulated by intermittent time …

Quantifying pulsatile secretion from serial hormone concentration measurements
(deconvolution analysis) requires automated, objective, and accurate detection of pulse …
