Molecular mechanisms of gonadotropin-releasing hormone signaling: integrating cyclic nucleotides into the network.

abstract：:In the developed world, the hazards associated with obesity have largely outstripped the risk of starvation. Obesity remains a difficult public health issue to address, due in large part to the many disciplines involved. A full understanding requires knowledge in the fields of genetics, endocrinology, psychology, soci...
