The clinical biochemistry ofhepatobiliary diseases is very widely studied, and publica tions abound on this topic. However, there is no recent publication that provides a comprehensive collection of the various leading aspects that go to make up this complex theme. Therefore, we thought it useful to gather together a few scientists whose work has focused on the various clinical biochemistry-aspects of these disorders in order that they might discuss their experience and expertise. The aim of the International Satellite Symposium on Clinical Biochemistry in Hepatobiliary Disease, in addition to reviewing the individual aspects, was to describe the state-of-the-art so as to provide useful data...
This book contains the 17 lectures given at the International Symposium on Liver Cells and Drugs held in Rennes on 7 to 10 July 1987 as well as 50 communications presented at the poster sessions.
Experimental and Comparative Toxicology, Volume 31 aims to explore some of the potentially important and crucial areas in experimental toxicology. The book discusses tumor promoters and genotoxic chemicals in short-term testing for carcinogenicity, as well as the significance of preneoplastic liver lesions in experimental animals. The text also describes the factors known to be associated with increased risk of liver neoplasia as a human disease, and the extent to which it is known that the same factors have a similar effect in laboratory animals. Neurobehavioral toxicology; immunotoxicology; and the endocrine system as the target in experimental toxicology are also considered. The book further tackles the uses of gamma-glutamyltransferase in experimental toxicology, as well as the predictive value of ocular irritation tests. Toxicologists, biochemists, pathologists, and those involved in preventive medicine and community health will find the text invaluable.
The availability of various in vitro and in vivo techniques has considerably advanced the research on drug transport and metabolism across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). These specialized and sophisticated experimental strategies are of fundamental importance if one is to gain a greater understanding of enhanced and selective drug delivery to the brain. The reader will find in this book methods for in vitro endothelial/astrocyte cell culture models, and for in vivo intracerebral microdialysis to study drug tranport across the BBB. This book, however, is not merely a laboratory manual consisting of recipes for BBB research; it permits the presentation of the different methods in fine detail, ...
10+ Years of Updates Since First EditionNewcomers to the animal clinical chemistry and toxicology fields quickly find that the same rules of human medicine do not always apply. Following in the footsteps of its standard-setting first edition, Animal Clinical Chemistry: A Practical Handbook for Toxicologists and Biomedical Researchers, Second Editio
Die Suche nach Medikamenten mit neuen oder verbesserten Eigenschaften hat das Interesse am pharmazeutischen Potenzial von Kohlenhydraten enorm verstärkt. Dies gilt insbesondere für die Entwicklung von Antibiotika, Impfstoffen und Anti-Krebs-Mitteln. Carbohydrate-based Drug Discovery stellt mit mehr als 50 Beiträgen der weltweit führenden Experten die neuesten Entwicklungen in der Kohlenhydrat- und Biochemie vor. Dabei liegt der Schwerpunkt der Darstellung auf der pharmazeutischen Anwendung. In jüngster Zeit sind wirksame, auf Kohlenhydraten basierende Medikamente gegen HIV, Grippe, Epilepsie, Diabetes und Krebs auf den Markt gekommen bzw. werden in Studien klinisch erprobt. Doch das ges...
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) creates and maintains the highly regulated extracellular environment of the CNS through three 'lines of defense'. (1) a physical barrier formed by tight junctions between endothelial cells of the brain capillaries and epithelial cells of both the choroid plexus and the arachnoid membrane. (2) transporters that mediate the efflux of compounds from brain to blood. And (3) an enzymatic barrier conferred by an enrichment of degradative enzymes in these endothelial and epithelial cells. The goal of this book is to provide readers with a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art of efflux transport across the blood-brain barrier and to provide detailed 'food-for-thought' which will hopefully stimulate more research in this area in both the academic and industrial research communities.
