Principles of Endocrine Pharmacology concerns itself with the ther apeutic use of hormones, and hormone like substances, or drugs that can act either by suppressing or enhancing the metabolism of certain glands of internal secretion. Other drugs used for nonendocrine ther apies can likewise affect the endocrine system. Endocrine pharmacology emerged in the early 1900s with the use of crude pituitary extracts. By the mid-1900s several investigators had isolated and begun to synthesize hormones or hormonelike substances. Recognizing the limited supply of hormones that could be obtained both from animal sources and human autopsy material, the search for so called hormone substitutes also began early in the 1900s. Recently, re combinant DNA technologies have been used to provide alternative therapeutic sources of human insulin and human growth hormone. Aside from insulin, perhaps no other use of hormonally-active sub stance is better exemplified by those drugs which | 出版日期 | Book 1986 | 关键词 | Insulin; metabolism; pharmacology; steroids; diabetes | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4684-5036-1 | isbn_softcover | 978-0-306-42143-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4684-5036-1 | copyright | Plenum Publishing Corporation 1986 |
