Волшебные молекулы здоровья

With this book, Dr. S. S. Konovalov, author of “Books that Heal,” opens a new series. Having been engaged in scientific activities for many years, he decided, together with his fellow scientists, to convey to the widest circle of readers the results of research by those scientists whose work is primarily related to issues of human health and well-being. The purpose of the round table is to present in a popular form the most advanced methods of scientific research, the most interesting and important discoveries of modern biology and medicine. In the first book of the new series, Dr. Konovalov and his colleague, professor, corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences I. M. Kvetnoy talk about the origin, development and achievements of neuroimmunoendocrinology - a science that studies the mechanisms of regulation of the body's vital processes with the help of hormones - “magic molecules”. The authors tell in a fascinating way about the most important and interesting milestones in the history of this young science, about the main groups of hormones, how they affect human health, and what opportunities their use opens up for medicine.
