Fatty Acid and Lipotoxicity in Obesity and Diabetes
ISBN: 9780470057643 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The potential lipotoxic effect of accumulation of fatty acids in non-adipose tissues is thought to be a major component in the development of insulin resistance. Chronic exposure to high concentrations of free fatty acids in the blood affects pancreatic β cell function, insulin secretion and lipid synthesis in the liver, and storage in adipose tissue. Maintaining the normal levels of fatty acids requires coordinated regulation between the liver, adipose tissue and skeletal muscle.
This book deals with the molecular aspects of fatty acid action in obesity and insulin resistance. The... The potential lipotoxic effect of accumulation of fatty acids in non-adipose tissues is thought to be a major component in the development of insulin ...

Role of the Sarcoplasmic Reticulum in Smooth Muscle
ISBN: 9780470844793 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Smooth muscle contraction is a vital component of the functioning of blood vessels, the uterus, airways and the bladder. Its malfunction can lead to serious pathological conditions, such as hypertension and pre-term labour. The calcium ion plays a central role in smooth muscle function, increasing in concentration for contraction and decreasing for relaxation. Calcium entry into the cell is facilitated by the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR).
This book explores the latest research on the role of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) in smooth muscle function. It examines the control and modulation of...

Osteoarthritic Joint Pain
ISBN: 9780470867617 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative disease associated with joint pain and loss of joint function. It has an estimated incidence of 4 out of every 100 people and significantly reduces the quality of life in affected individuals. The major symptoms are chronic pain, swelling and stiffness; severe, chronic joint pain is often the central factor that causes patients to seek medical attention. Within the affected joint, there is focal degradation and remodelling of articular cartilage, new bone formation (osteophytes) and mild synovitis.
Several mechanisms are thought to contribute to... Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative disease associated with joint pain and loss of joint function. It has an estimated incidence of 4 out of ever...

The Biology of Extracellular Molecular Chaperones
ISBN: 9780470723333 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The heat shock, or cell stress, response was first identified in the polytene chromosomes of Drosophila. This was later related to the appearance of novel proteins within stressed cells, and the key signal stimulating this appearance was identified as the presence of unfolded proteins within the cell. It is now known that this is a key mechanism enabling cells to survive a multitude of physical, chemical and biological stresses.
Since the promulgation of the 'molecular chaperone' concept as a general cellular function to control the process of correct protein folding, a large number...
