 The purpose of Integrative Biology of Women s Health is to discuss and identify perspective areas from basic science to clinical interventions that are critical to the future of women s health.� As of now there are critical knowledge gaps that exist in our understanding of physiological and cellular function in women that make the prediction of responses to specific interventions daunting. From a scientific evolution of understanding, the existence of research focused on women s health is relatively new and thus there has not been enough time for new information to integrate itself into our current scientific thought process.� This book seeks to capture and disseminate our current understanding of scientific advancements relevant to women s health and provide the information to a broad audience. � The scientific community has made significant advancements in understanding the unique aspects of women s health in multiple different tissues. Within this book leading researchers in three key areas: skeletal-muscle-bone function, metabolic function, and cardiovascular function have contributed chapters to enlighten or encourage new avenues of thought that would benefit women. The reader will be exposed to a wide range of experimental approaches including physiological, biochemical, molecular techniques in an effort to provide a comprehensive discussion about the biology of women s health. � � Integrative Biology of Women s Health is of great value to anyone who has a interest in sex related differences or estrogen-driven biological responses as they relate to muscle or bone function, metabolic or cardiovascular function.�
