The
HypoCCS series aims to bring the latest basic and
clinical advances in pituitary-related endocrinology
to a broad audience. The BioScientifica rapid-publication
system ensures that the content is completely up
to date.
This is the 8th in the HypoCCS symposia series on
clinical and basic aspects of pituitary diseases.
The endocrine system in man undergoes major changes
during the aging process, these changes occur in
parallel with the appearance of characteristic changes
in aging organs. Aspects of the endocrinology of
growth and development are addressed including subjects
such as circadian rhythms and the effect of chemotherapy
in childhood. The use of hormone interventions in
adult life is covered with, amongst others, chapter
on DHEA, middle age spread and thyroid hormone replacements. Mechanisms
in the aging process are addressed with chapters
on hormone therapy in women and the interaction of
growth hormones and the risk of cancer.
These proceedings will be welcomed by clinical and basic scientists with an interest
in the pituitary, as well as those with a general interest in the endocrinology
of aging and the aging process.
