areas of reproductive endocrinology The possibilities offered by luteal phase stimulation, the management of luteal phase in IVF cycles, the importance of genomics to better understand ovarian response and the critical management of poor responders, together with the relationship of gene expression in cumulus cells with oocyte quality are the areas of ART developed in this book Another important chapter is “Premature Ovarian Insufficiency: Advances in Management Through a Global Registry.” The third part of this volume is devoted to neuroendocrinology and covers stress-induced hypothalamic amenorrhea, obesity and anorexia nervosa, the neuroendocrine basis of ovarian aging and androgen replacement in women The complex areas of glucose metabolism and polycystic ovary syndrome with the impact of myo- and chiro-inositol, as well as cardiovascular risk in obesity, are discussed in details, together with the diagnosis and treatment for endometriomas, medical therapies of myomas and vitamin D deficiency The last part of this book is related to the climacteric, menopause and aging, focusing on contraception in the climacterium, the management of menopausal transition, the impact of steroid replacement therapies on the aging brain, and concludes with the current findings on soya and isoflavones and their clinical aspects, as well as the body identical hormone replacement Gynecological reproductive endocrinology still represents a rapidly growing discipline and this volume offers readers a real possibility for updating their knowledge and help in the better
