Review quotes

"This book is volume 122 in the long-running Vitamins and Hormones series. Epigenetics is the term coined to describe the observation that two cells possessing identical genomes, but different histories, can exhibit and transmit differing phenotypes to their offspring,…[and] the book aims to cover ‘the complex interplay between hormones and epigenetics, highlighting the… implications for our health and well-being.’ …Topics covered range from the highly focused epigenetic modifications in the intestines of amphibians undergoing metamorphosis to the expansive effects of thyroid hormones to the psychological epigenetic effects of meditation and epigenetics of stress and mindfulness."—©Doody’s Review Service, 2023, Peter J. Kennelly, PhD (Virginia Tech)
