Al jaren onderzoeken biologen aan de hand van laboratoriumexperimenten, veldwerk en computersimulaties de geslachtsorganen van allerlei organismen: van muizen en mollen, slakken en slangen, watermijten en walvissen. Vaak is alleen aan de genitaliën te zien om welke soort het gaat. Eén vraag houdt de gemoederen al lange tijd bezig: waarom verschillen penissen - en vaak ook hun vrouwelijke equivalenten - zo van soort tot soort? 
In de afgelopen twintig jaar hebben onderzoekers ontdekt dat geslachtsdelen, ook die van de mens, een belangrijke rol spelen in de evolutie van de soort. In _Darwins Peepshow_ beschrijft Menno Schilthuizen de nieuwe perspectieven die inzicht geven in de ontwikkeling en het gedrag van soorten.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the single most common endocrinologic abnormality of women, affecting approximately 1 in 10-to 15 women of reproductive age. It is also the most frequent cause of oligo-ovulatory infertility. PCOS patients demonstrate androgenic symptoms including hirsutism, alopecia, and acne. Furthermore, patients with PCOS are at significant risk for developing diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and possibly cardiovascular disease. It is estimated that the healthcare cost exceeds four billion dollars annually in the United States alone, not even accounting for the significant negative effect this disorder has on quality of life. Patients with PCOS are seen by a variety of specialists, depending on needs, including reproductive, medical, and pediatric endocrinologists; gynecologists; general internists; and dermatologists. This text reviews the latest concepts in the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of the this pervasive and significant disorder, a clear and focused manner. ******************************************************************************* In this concise volume, Dr. Azziz has integrated current clinical knowledge with principles of fundamental genetics and cell biology of polycystic ovary syndrome - a commonly encountered clinical entity.This book will assist clinicians treating this serious and often distressing disorder afflicting so many women in terms of quality of life,fertility and systemic wellbeing.The chapters also provide useful insights for researchers studying mechanisms for pathogenesis of the disorder,and those unraveling novel therapeutic approaches. Ultimately,women with this metabolic and reproductive disorder will benefit from the knowledge which this group of expert authors bring to publication in this text.
