Summary

This book provides an excellent and critical update of the present knowledge of the action and function of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factors as well as the potential uses of the hormone and its dependent peptides in an increasing number of physiological and pathological conditions. It is of primary interest to basic and clinical endocrinologists, neuroendocrinologists, pediatric endocrinologists, gynecologists and gerontologists.
