I. I. Dedov, V. I. Dedov. Hormonal Biorhythms

Abstract

There are many different, mostly popular, sometimes sensational publications dedicated to biorhythms in our lives. The peer-reviewed monograph summarizes literature data and the results of our own studies on the nature of the rhythmic functioning of various parts of the neuroendocrine system and the role of hormone biorhythms in the development of endocrinopathies. The authors went beyond the title of the book, since biorhythms are only a special case of a wider dependence of life processes on time.

The monograph consists of a preface, introduction, 4 chapters, conclusion and list of references. The introduction substantiates the relevance of the topic and clearly defined tasks. The material of each chapter is presented at the modern level of knowledge with an analysis of extensive, mainly foreign, literature.
