The book delves into various hormone systems, offering comprehensive updates on chapters related to sleep hormones, growth factors, and intestinal hormones, among others. It serves as a crucial resource for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers in biological sciences, while also addressing clinical applications for practitioners. The content emphasizes the subcellular mechanisms of selected hormones, enhancing the reader's understanding of human anatomy and physiology.

First published in 1943, Vitamins and Hormones is the longest-running serial published by Academic Press. In the early days of the serial, the subjects of vitamins and hormones were quite distinct. The Editorial Board now reflects expertise in the field of hormone action, vitamin action, X-ray crystal structure, physiology, and enzyme mechanisms. Under the capable and qualified editorial leadership of Dr. Gerald Litwack, Vitamins and Hormones continues to publish cutting-edge reviews of interest to endocrinologists, biochemists, nutritionists, pharmacologists, cell biologists, and molecular biologists. Others interested in the structure and function of biologically active molecules like hormones and vitamins will, as always, turn to this series for comprehensive reviews by leading contributors to this and related disciplines.
