Central Regulation of Energy Metabolism With Special Reference To Circadian Rhythm

By: Katsuya Nagai

This excellent book describes the roles of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus as a regulatory center of homeostatic mechanism and a circadian oscillator in mammals, including humans. The authors emphasize two important points based on their findings: 1) SCN plays a critical role in central regulation of energy metabolism through which a constant supply of glucose to the central nervous system (CNS) is well maintained; and 2) neurons responsible for the regulation of energy metabolism are located in the ventrolateral part of the SCN and receive retinal neural inputs through both the retinohypothalamic tract and the geniculohypothalamic tract. The authors then discuss the evolutionary importance of these points to the survival of mammals on earth. Other topics examined include the involvement of light in the regulation of neural activity of the autonomic nervous system through the retina and SCN, in addition to the relation of the SCN with regulations of other autonomic nerve functions, such as blood pressure and body temperature. Central Regulation of Energy Metabolism with Special Reference to Circadian Rhythm is important reading for researchers and students in neuroendocrinologists, neurobiologists, biochemists, endocrinologists, physiologists, chronobiologists, psychologists, pharmacologists, and others interested in the topic.

Shoulder, The: Its Function And Clinical Aspects

By: Katsuya Nobuhara

This is a landmark book that has been written for shoulder surgeons all over the world. The author, a world-renowned shoulder expert, shares his more than three decades of research investigations and clinical experience. The topics covered range from shoulder functional anatomy, through the clinical aspects, to shoulder biomechanics, with the inclusion of many clinical cases.The book is highly illustrated with more than 200 color pictures. It has many outstanding features unmatched by other existing references. The author utilizes the unusual oriental concept of the human body structure to explain the function of the shoulder, thus providing a totally different frame of reference for the understanding of such an amazing physiological entity. The book provides a well-balanced presentation of Eastern and Western medical science and philosophy, and promises to be a classic. It will benefit many orthopedic surgeons, rehabilitation professionals and biomechanicians.
