Nicotine Safety and Toxicity
ISBN: 9780195114966 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Nicotine has been developed as a medication to assist smoking cessation, and is being considered as a possible drug for long-term maintenance of non-smoking. It is also undergoing evaluation as a possible treatment for several medical disorders, including ulcerative colitis, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Tourette's syndrome, attention deficit disorder, spasticity, and sleep apnea. Understanding its safety and toxicity is essential for drug developers, drug regulators, and clinicians making risk/benefit decisions about long-term nicotine therapy. Research on nicotine toxicity is...

However, the harmful effects produced by certain plant constituents, which result in an increasing incidence of poisoning cases in the United States each year, are not so widely appreciated. This book is not intended to be a comprehensive treatise on all substances from plants that are lethal or otherwise injurious to humans or livestock. Instead, owing to tremendous recent advances in the understanding of the chemical nature of their...

Nutritional and Toxicological Consequences of Food Processing
ISBN: 9780306438912 / Angielski / Twarda / 542 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) A variety of processing methods are used to make foods edible; to pennit storage; to alter texture and flavor; to sterilize and pasteurize food; and to destroy microorganisms and other toxins. These methods include baking, broiling, cooking, freezing, frying, and roasting. Many such efforts have both beneficial and harmful effects. It is a paradox of nature that the processing of foods can improve nutrition, quality, safety, and taste, and yet occasionally lead to the formation of anti-nutritional and toxic compounds. These multifaceted consequences of food processing arise from molecular...

Use of Biomarkers in Assessing Health and Environmental Impacts of Chemical Pollutants
ISBN: 9780306445392 / Angielski / Twarda / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Biological markers (biomarkers) are useful tools for understanding the nature and extent of human exposure and risk from environmental toxicants. Biomarkers are classified into three basic categories: exposure, effect, or susceptibility. A marker of exposure is the product of the interaction between a target cell or molecule and a foreign substance (NAS, 1989). These markers can be used to determine the biologically effective dose necessary to elicit a particular physiological change in an organism. A marker of effect is a biochemical or physiological change in an organism that can predict...

Biological Reactive Intermediates V: Basic Mechanistic Research in Toxicology and Human Risk Assessment
ISBN: 9780306451973 / Angielski / Twarda / 462 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Much of organic chemistry is based on the ability of suitably structured chemicals to bind together through the formation of covalent bonds. Biochemistry is replete with exam- ples of enzymatically catalyzed reactions in which normal body constituents can be linked through covalent bonds during the process of intermediary metabolism. The finding that xenobiotic chemicals that enter the body from the environment, are metabolized to highly reactive species, and then covalently react with cellular macromolecules to induce toxic and carcinogenic effects was an observation that spawned the...
