Bioenvironmental Issues Affecting Men's Reproductive and Sexual Health
Coordonnateurs : Sikka Suresh C, Hellstrom Wayne J.G.
Bioenvironmental Issues Affecting Men's Reproductive and Sexual Health is structured into two parts related to men?s reproductive and sexual health with eight sections designed to enable a logical flow of such knowledge. The book is focused on the biology of key organs involved in male reproduction and the environmental influences affecting their functions with particular emphasis on clinical aspects.
Individual chapters within the book range from basic to translational aspects, but all hold clinical relevance. This is an essential reference for those working and learning in the field of human reproduction, reproductive toxicology and environmental influences on reproductive and sexual health.
