Maternal-Fetal and Neonatal Endocrinology: Physiology, Pathophysiology, and Clinical Management, 2nd Edition offers a comprehensive reference on hormonal systems during gestation and early life. Edited by Christopher S. Kovács and Cheri L. Deal and published under the Academic Press imprint, the text outlines clinical physiology and disease mechanisms across maternal, fetal, and neonatal stages.
The thematic coverage spans foundational hormone regulation and gestational pathology. The volume details hypothalamic hormones during ovulation and lactation, gestational glucose metabolism with attention to insulin resistance mechanisms, and calcium, phosphorus, and bone metabolism across pregnancy, lactation, and postweaning. Further chapters examine adrenal cortex physiology and the central role of adipose tissue.
This updated volume integrates presentation of new molecular and genetic causes of endocrine disorders to assist medical professionals. It functions as a targeted reference for adult and paediatric endocrinologists, obstetricians, gynecologists, neonatologists, and translational research scientists handling rare biological pathways.
