A time for metabolism and hormones

Recent years have seen spectacular advances in the field of circadian biology.

These have attracted the interest of researchers in many fields, including endocrinology, neurosciences, and cancer.

By integrating a circadian view within the fields of endocrinology and metabolism, researchers will be able to reveal many, yet-unsuspected aspects of how organisms cope with changes in the environment and subsequent control of homeostasis.

This field is opening new avenues in our understanding of metabolism and endocrinology.

A panel of distinguished investigators in the field gathered together to discuss the present state and the future of the field.

This book will be of use to those who will be picking up the challenge to unravel how the circadian clock can be targeted for the future development of specific pharmacological strategies toward a number of pathologies.
