Description
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.
Audience
Researchers, faculty, and graduate students interested in cutting-edge review concerning the molecular and cellular biology of vitamins, hormones, and related factors and co-factors.
