Aging is characterized by a progressive loss of physiological function leading to increase in the vulnerability to death. This deterioration process occurs in all living organisms and is the primary risk factor for pathological conditions including obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, Alzheimer's disease and cardiovascular diseases. Most of the age-related diseases have been associated with impairment of action of an important hormone, namely insulin. It is well-known that this hormone is a critical mediator of metabolism, growth, proliferation and differentiation. Insulin action depends on two processes that determine its circulating levels, insulin secretion and clearance, and insulin sensitivity in its target tissues. Aging has deleterious effects on these three mechanisms, impairing insulin action, thereby increasing the risk for diseases and death. Thus, improving insulin action may be an important strategy to have a healthier and longer life.

Vitamins and Hormones

First published in 1943, Vitamins and Hormones is the longest-running serial published by Academic Press. In the early days of the serial, the subjects of vitamins and hormones were quite distinct. The Editorial Board now reflects expertise in the field of hormone action, vitamin action, X-ray crystal structure, physiology, and enzyme mechanisms. Vitamins and Hormones continues to publish cutting-edge reviews of interest to endocrinologists, biochemists, nutritionists, pharmacologists, cell biologists, and molecular biologists. Others interested in the structure and function of biologically active molecules like hormones and vitamins will, as always, turn to this series for comprehensive reviews by leading contributors to this and related disciplines.

《Anxiety》期刊自1943年首次出版以来，一直是Academic Press出版的最长寿的系列期刊。在早期，维生素和激素的主题相对独立。如今，编辑委员会的成员在激素作用、维生素作用、X射线晶体结构、生理学和酶机制等领域具有丰富的专业知识。《Anxiety》期刊继续发表与内分泌学家、生物化学家、营养学家、药理学家、细胞生物学家和分子生物学家等相关的前沿综述。其他对生物活性分子（如激素和维生素）的结构和功能感兴趣的研究人员，仍然会向该系列寻求来自相关学科领先贡献者的全面综述。
