Pregnancy also modifies  the natural history of other more common hepatobiliary diseases, such  as cholesterol gallstones. Sex hormones (mainly oestrogens,  progesterone and\/or some of its metabolites) and prolactin are  considered responsible for these pathological consequences and they  also appear to be influential in the outcome of several other  hepatobiliary disorders, in both sexes and all ages. Although these  disorders and their hormonal interrelations have been clinically well  characterized, their pathogenesis remains obscure from the  biomolecular point of view. In recent years, novel approaches using  new technologies have improved our understanding of hormone actions  and metabolism, hormone receptors, metabolic pathways and their  interrelations with closely related molecules, such as bile acids.  This book, the proceedings of the 89th Falk Symposium, held in  Santiago, Chile, 10-11 November, 1995, will help research  scientists and clinicians to review basic and clinical aspects of  these interactions, in order to stimulate biomedical research in a  relevant and exciting area.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1996-06-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792387046\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 319\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44541626024076,"sku":"9780792387046","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792387046","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
