Editorial Reviews
Review
'Mark Brincat has done a great service to endocrinology and the health of menopausal women by his intuitive work on the skin and the extrapolation of his results to the skeleton. This hypothesis has now been proven to be correct and he deserves our thanks and congratulations. This is a superb book and I am sure it will have a large, enthusiastic readership.' - John Studd, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London, UK
From the Back Cover
The skin is more than just an outer covering. A complex organ that reflects general health, there are numerous variables that determine the skin's quality. Healthy skin is dependent on the continuous rapid regeneration of cells, such as the dermal fibroblasts responsible for the connective tissue, and on the quality and function of capillary blood vessels, so that the entire organ is in perfect balance. Any alteration of this balance leads to differences in skin qualities.
This definitive review of the effects of hormones on the skin provides essential information on all aspects of HRT related to the skin specific to dermatology and women's health practices. Topics covered include: collagen changes in the skin, the extracellular matrix, the psychosexual role of the skin at the climacteric, transdermal and corticosteroid therapy, capillary blood flow in the skin and hair and HRT.
