Opis

A product of the collected knowledge of internationally respected scie ntists, this book serves as a standard reference summarizing recent de velopments, scientific controversies, and future directions in the stu dy of the biological actions of CO on the cardiovascular system. By co vering both ancient and state-of-the-art methodologies in great detail, Carbon Monoxide and Cardiovascular Functions, affords a rapid master y of the powerful new advances in CO study.

Recenzje

"The book gives a first rate summary of the mechanisms by which CO exerts its action on vascular smooth muscle…The illustrations and pertinent data are well organized and clear. The book is a good source for graduate or upper division undergraduate courses in pharmacology, physiology, or biochemistry of CO. To my knowledge there are no other books in this subject. 3 stars."
