The physiological basis of metabolic bone disease

The physiological basis of metabolic bone disease / edited by Howard A. Morris, Paul H. Anderson, B.E. Christopher Nordin.

"Physiology and medicine are interrelated disciplines, and this is perhaps nowhere more apparent than in the field of mineral metabolism. This book presents information on the physiological principles regulating the response of mineral homeostasis on genetic, molecular, environmental, and nutri...
