Dopamine
Endocrine and Oncogenic Functions
Gebonden Engels 2020 1e druk 9781138392236Samenvatting
Dopamine is a small molecule traditionally regarded as a brain-derived neuronal modulator implicated in many neurological and psychiatric disorders. Outside the brain, dopamine fulfills all the criteria of a circulating hormone which affects normal and abnormal functions of multiple organs and regulatory systems and is also involved in many aspects of cancer formation and progression. This book provides a much needed systematic account of dopamine as an endocrine and autocrine/paracrine hormone and fills a major gap in the overall understanding of the production, distribution and actions of this very important molecule.
Key Features:
Explores the many different faces of dopamine as autocrine, paracrine and endocrine molecule
Documents the adverse effects of antipsychotics on dopamine functions
Reviews the many ways dopamine affects the cardiovascular, renal and reproductive systems
Provides updates on receptor oligomerization and signaling
Examines the role of dopamine in tumorigenesis
