520 3 # |a This book describes the cellular and molecular mechanisms that are involved in the regulation of cell and tissue growth, including development and body composition. The emphasis is placed on circulating hormones, local growth factors and gene transcription factors, which regulate growth and differentiation of skeletal muscles, bone and adipose tissue. The book starts by introducing the reader to basic aspects of whole animal growth, and presents an outline of the important concepts in molecular and cell biology that are required for an understanding of the processes of animal growth control. It also explains the endocrine system, along with hormonal regulation and the relationship between specific hormones and domestic animal growth. Some previous knowledge of biochemistry and cell biology is assumed, and this book is aimed at advanced undergraduates and graduate animal scientists. Specific topics covered include the cell cycle, transgenic animals, steroids, catecholamines, beta-agonists and nutirient repartitioning and leptin, body composition and appetite control. There are a number of diagrams that help to illustrate the text.
