The Biology of Sexual Function
Psychiatric Clinics of North America, 1995This article provides a selective overview of the physiologic substrates of sexual desire, arousal, and orgasm, and reviews their changes with age. The effect of pharmacologic agents on sexual physiology is discussed, highlighting both the clinical significance and underlying neurophysiologic mechanisms of these agents.

Biology and function of hemidesmosomes
Matrix Biology, 1999Hemidesmosomes are cell-substratum adhesion sites that connect the extracellular matrix to the keratin cytoskeleton. Our knowledge of the function of these structures has greatly increased as a result of studies on patients with aberrant expression of hemidesmosome components and studies using targeted inactivation of mouse genes encoding these ...

Differentiation
Fibroblast growth factor 12 (FGF12) belongs to the fibroblast growth factor homologous factors (FHF) subfamily, which is also known as the FGF11 subfamily. The human FGF12 gene is located on chromosome 3 and consists of four introns and five coding exons. Their alternative splicing results in two FGF12 isoforms - the shorter 'b' isoform and the longer '

Endogenous Opioids: Biology and Function
Annual Review of Neuroscience, 1984even less so. It was therefore impossible for the functionally minded neuro scientist to design and execute experiments taking this heterogeneity into consideration. Even pharmacological studies with these peptides were difficult to interpret in a physiological framework.

Biology of female sexual function
Urologic Clinics of North America, 2002Although the psychosocial and relationship aspects of female sexuality have been extensively investigated, studies concerning the anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology of female sexual function and dysfunction are limited. The paucity of biologic data may be attributed to a lack of reliable experimental models and tools for investigating female ...

Leptin: Structure, Function and Biology
2005Leptin is an adipocyte-derived hormone that acts as a major regulator for food intake and energy homeostasis. Leptin deficiency or resistance can result in profound obesity, diabetes, and infertility in humans. Since its discovery, our understanding of leptin's biological functions has expanded from anti-obesity to broad effects on reproduction ...

Acta Biotheoretica, 1958
In this paper we intend to propose a definition of function in biology. First we delimitated the problem and pointed out that a definition must not be related to hypotheses such as the causal connexion between form and function, phylogenetics or evolution, but that only the existence of functions is to be considered. The elements to be expressed in the

The functional approach in biology
Biosystems, 1977The concepts of structural and functional approaches are analysed. The existence of a logical limit to the domain of applicability of the structural approach is indicated. Some sources of possible failure of the structural method in biology are pointed out.
