Publisher's Synopsis

This is a scholarly synthesis of current knowledge about the vertebrate growth process and how it is controlled by hormones and growth factors. It focuses on growth hormone-structure-function relationships, gene expression, regulation of secretion, receptors, cell-signalling mechanisms and physiological mechanisms of action - and on the insulin-like growth factors. No other single volume provides such a wealth of information about how hormones regulate vertebrate growth.
