Leptin and Reproduction | Michael C. Henson, V. Daniel Castracane

This volume embraces all areas of work on leptin and reproduction in both the female and the male, with respect to both basic and clinical research, human and animal models, and in vitro and in vivo paradigms. This is the very first work to review the roles and regulation of leptin, as these relate to reproduction and reproductive biology. In Leptin and Reproduction, a number of leading contributors review the current state of knowledge in this young, but extensively investigated, field of research. This book will make a valuable reference for scientists and researchers in the fields of reproductive biology, endocrinology, cell biology, embryology, ovarian physiology, animal science, andrology and specialists in infertility and assisted reproduction.
