- Summary:
- In vertebrates, the endocrine system plays a key role in conveying environmental temporal information to changes in physiology. This book reviews the biological basis of pulsatile hormone release, exploring the current state of knowledge of pulsatile hormone secretion in health and disease. It covers the basic mechanisms of pulsatility, discussing the role of pulsatile signaling in the induction of biological responses.
