Annual Review of Physiology

As is the case with previous editions, the aim is to track recent advances in physiology. Featured in this annual are two special articles--one on G protein effector mechanisms, edited by James B. Hurley, and one on transportopathies, edited by Gerhard Giebisch. Other topics include endocrinology, comparative physiology, neurophysiology, cardiovascular physiology, and physiologies renal and electrolytic, gastrointestinal, and respiratory. Along with the 32 articles is a subject index, as well as cumulative indices of contributing authors and chapter titles (v.60-64). Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR.
