Opis

The pivotal role of the Paraoxonases (PON) family in a variety of inflammatory diseases, e.g. atherosclerosis, in preventing the toxicity of organophosphorus insecticides and nerve agents and a variety of other compounds, has made them an interesting target for both clinicians and scientists alike. This text covers the topic.

Recenzje

From the reviews:

"This volume contains a selection of papers from the 3^rd International Conference on paraoxonases held at the University of California in Los Angeles ... . The paper quality and book construction is excellent, the print font size is ideal and, as would be expected, it contains a copious numbers of tables, graphs, schemes, chemical formulae, figures and photographs ... . The tome is rounded of with an adequate index of some 16 pages. This publication ... is a worthy and interesting addition." (S. C. Mitchell, ISSX Newsletter, May, 2011)
