About The Book

The title presents for the first time a balanced variety of authentic reports on various aspects of endocrine research directed towards application of acquired knowledge as the most effective tool of biotechnology for the propagation of economic animals and management of human health. The book provides comprehensive, integrated reviews giving sound, critical, and provocative ideas supported by most appropriate illustrations covering diverse areas of hormones and biotechnology, from molecular to organismic levels. One of the notable features of the book is that the articles included herein have been contributed by globally reputed scientists who were responsible for collection of original data from their own long-term research in India and/or abroad. Most of the articles deal with various aspects of hitherto undiscussed areas of hormones and biotechnology emphasising hormonal implication in different reproductive and physiological disorders, and molecular basis of their remedies. The information presented in this book are recent and novel, and have far-reaching consequences for application of hormones as the biotechnological tool in the care of animals and in cure of human physiological disorders. The book will be useful to students and researchers in the field of biotechnology, reproductive biology, molecular biology and any one with an interest in endocrinology.
