The NATO Advanced Study Institute of "Molecular and Applied Aspects of Oxida tive Drug Metabolizing Enzymes" was held in Tekirova, Antalya, Turkey, from August 31 to September 11, 1997. This Institute was the third of a series of the NATO ASIs on a similar topic relating to the enzymes of oxidative metabolism of xenobiotics. The first NATO ASI in this series, entitled "Molecular Aspects of Monooxygenases and Bioactiva tion of Toxic Compounds" (NATO ASI Series A: Life Sciences, Vol. 202), was held in

A Textbook of Modern Toxicology is a unique resource that provides both students and practitioners with a wide-ranging, accessible overview of the discipline. Suitable for courses in environmental, pharmacological, medical, and veterinary toxicology, this essential text features chapters written by experts who address a range of key topics.

The Fourth Edition includes additional chapters on new approaches to toxicology - molecular methods (-omics: toxicogenomics, proteomics, and metabolomics), bioinformatics, and systems biology - and continues the legacy of its predecessors to...

Presented here are recent advances in biochemical, toxicological, and regulatory aspects of oxidative drug metabolizing enzymes. Mainly cytochrome P450-dependent and flavin-containing monooxygenases (FMO) are covered. Moreover, the book deals with genotoxicity studies and toxicological interactions of environmental chemicals and mechanisms of mutagenicity and tumor formation. The construction of genetically engineered mammalian cells for the production of a specific P450 isozyme and the application of these cell lines in drug metabolism, mutagenicity and toxicity studies are described in...
