Advances in Steroid Analysis, 1987. Proceedings of the 3rd Symposium of Steroids. Sopron, Hungary, October 20-22, 1987 Edited by S. Gorog and E. Heftmann Akademiai Kiado, Budapest, 1988, 584 pp., $58.00
on the Analysis
This book, the third in the series, includes 73 papers that cover the analytical aspects of a diverse range of steroids. The book is divided into five main sections. In the first chapter (80 pages) 8 papers present topics relating to protein binding and receptor binding studies. There then follows chapters on immunoassay (156 pages, 22 papers), chromatography (194 pages, 23 papers) clinical applications (88 pages, 13 papers) and finally a brief miscellaneous chapter (54 pages, 7 papers). The chapter concerning clinical applications is a welcome new addition to the format of the series and in the main the topics covered in the chapter relate to androgen metabolism. Other clinical applications reported include the measurement of vitamin D metabolites and an interesting paper relating to the hazards of occupational exposure to synthetic steroids. As with all books of this type, that report proceedings of meetings, the content for the most part is of a very special&d nature and I suspect most papers will be of interest to only a select group of individuals. The authors have been limited in the length of presentation allowed and this has in many cases resulted in an introduction and discussion which is inadequate for the non-specialist. However, most papers are adequately referenced if the reader wishes to seek further information. In summary, the book contains a large amount of practical information concerning the measurement of specific steroids and as such it provides a useful reference text at a modest price. It is certainly a book to be recommended for the reference library but I doubt if it will find its way into many personal libraries.
