- Abstract
- This volume provides a comprehensive, up-to-date overview on pediatric and adolescent gynecological endocrinology. It covers a very wide range of topics with a particular focus on disorders of sex differentiation, pubertal maturation, growth disorders, primary and secondary amenorrhea, menstrual disorders in adolescents and young adults, sexuality, contraception, and pregnancy. The authors are international well-known experts who document the latest clinical experience in this continuously evolving field and provide practical guidance on the evaluation and treatment of female pubertal problems. The book is published within the International Society of Gynecological Endocrinology (ISGE) Series and is based on the 2015 International School of Gynecological and Reproductive Endocrinology (ISGRE) Summer Course. It will be an invaluable reference for gynecologists, endocrinologists, pediatricians, and experts in women's health.

- Abstract
- Due to the paucity of reviews on this subject, this volume aims to be timely and promote additional basic and translational research on these proteins in reproductive system development and function within the fields of Anatomy, Embryology and Cell Biology. The breadth of the work being conducted within Reproduction is exemplified by the contributors to this series who will provide reviews on: Grp78 roles in female reproduction, small heat shock proteins/co-chaperones as players in uterine smooth muscle function, the role of heat shock proteins in sperm function and maternal contribution to oogenesis and early embryogenesis, heat shock factors and testes development, HSP90 in ovarian biology and pathology, and the role of HSP70 in regulation of autophagy in pregnancy and parturition.
- Contents
- 1. Heat Shock Proteins and maternal contribution to oogenesis and early embryogenesis -- 2. The unmysterious roles of HSP90: Ovarian biology and autoantibodies -- 3. The role of heat shock factors in mammalian spermatogenesis -- 4. Heat shock protein A2 (HSPA2): Regulatory roles in germ cell development and sperm function -- 5. The potential functions of small heat shock proteins in the uterine musculature during pregnancy -- 6. The role of HSP70 in the regulation of autophagy in gametogenesis, pregnancy and parturition -- 7. Roles of Grp78 in female mammalian reproduction.
