Sex determination, differentiation, and intersexuality in placental mammals / R.H.F. Hunter.
Hunter, R. H. F.| Call Number | 599/.036 |
| Author | Hunter, R. H. F., author. |
| Title | Sex determination, differentiation, and intersexuality in placental mammals / R.H.F. Hunter. Sex Determination, Differentiation & Intersexuality in Placental Mammals |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource (xxi, 310 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015). |
| Contents | Historical landmarks in studies of reproduction and sex determination -- Mechanisms of sex determination -- Differentiation of the gonads -- Differentiation of the genital duct system -- Anomalous sexual development in domestic species -- Abnormal sexual development in laboratory rodents -- Abnormal sexual development in man -- Sexual differentiation in chimaeras -- Asymmetries in the reproductive system and their significance. |
| Summary | How do males become male and females become female? And what are the consequences if the decision is not incisive? Drawing upon interests in animal genetics and molecular biology, the author endeavours to answer these difficult yet fascinating questions. Originally published in 1995, this book describes the genetic determination of sex and examines how sexual organs are differentiated. Using examples of intersexuality, chimaeras and asymmetries, the book describes the underlying molecular basis of sex determination and sexual differentiation, and focuses on the critical role of the rate of embryonic development in these vital processes. Male precocity is a recurrent theme, as is the involvement of Sertoli cells and their secretion of anti-Müllerian hormone. An invaluable book for reproductive physiologists, geneticists and developmental biologists whose interests may extend from animal science through veterinary medicine to human clinical medicine. |
