SYMPOSIUM ON REPRODUCTION Held during the Annual Meeting of the Hungarian Society for Endocrinology and Metabolism. Pécs (Hungary), Aug. 31-Sept. 2. 1967 Edited by K. Lissák Contributors of the symposium give a survey on recent developments achieved in the research of the physiology, endocrinology and pathology of reproduction. The papers discuss the neural and hormonal control of the pituitary-gonadal functions (B. Flerkó, В. T. Donovan and M. Kurcz), the neuroendocrine control of the patterns of sexual behaviour (L. R. Aronson, E. Endrőczi and S. Levine), the biosynthetic pathways of gonadal hormones (Gy. Telegdy), and the role of environmental factors influencing reproductive functions (S. Arvay). From the clinico-pathological viewpoint a survey is given on the pituitary-adrenocortical and gonadal functions, and on the usage of progestogens as contraceptive agents (M. Julesz and F. Szontágh). Recent data on the control of gestation and placentation are also presented in the volume (L. Lajos). The book is recommended for physiologists, endocrinologists and pathologists interested in the various fields of reproductive physiology and pathology.
