SPRINGERBRIEFS IN REPRODUCTIVE BIOLOGY TESTOS...

This volume provides a brief résumé of the history of testosterone research  from the early
pioneers through to the most recent advances in the field. We discover how steroid hormones
were first identified and how testosterone was shown to be essential for male development.
Moving forward we explore how and where testosterone is produced  and how the body controls
testosterone production. We then investigate the impact testosterone has on different body
systems both during their development and function  and how perturbation of testosterone action
is associated with disease. We complete our story with an exploration of the emerging roles of
testosterone in clinical therapy  and the future potential for manipulation of the testosterone
signaling system for human health benefit.
