Estrogens Progestins and Their Antagonists

A collection of essays in the field of hormone research on topics related to the physiological and molecular mechanisms of action of oestrogens, progestins and their antagonists. It is complementary to volume one by providing information on how these hormones are able to achieve their characteristic responses. Topics include: the role of oestrogens, progestins and their antagonists in a variety of systems including brain and pituitary, yeast and transgenic models; the molecular mechanisms involving receptors for these hormonal agents in gene expression; and factors and processes which enhance hormone receptor function.
