*Dopamine: Endocrine and Oncogenic Functions*, 1st Edition, is a textbook that delivers a systematic account of dopamine as an endocrine, autocrine, and paracrine hormone. It addresses major gaps in understanding the molecule's production, distribution, and actions outside the central nervous system.
The volume explores how circulating dopamine affects major physiological networks. It reviews dopamine's actions across cardiovascular, renal, and reproductive systems, while surveying its metabolic, digestive, cutaneous, and hematopoietic functions.
In addition, the text examines dopamine's involvement in tumor development and documents the adverse effects that antipsychotics exert on dopamine functions.
