Introduction to Pharmacology, Third Edition
The first edition of Introduction to Pharmacology has over recent years become a highly influential text among students wishing to acquire a knowledge of pharmacology without having to refer to the larger, more detailed, traditional pharmacology volumes. This revised and updated second edition contains significant new material to bring the reader up-to-date with the latest practices and principles in pharmacology. Exploring the basic principles in both the therapeutic and toxicological aspects of drug use, the book employs contemporary examples of medication, supplemented with an increased number of accurate and easy-to-interpret figures and diagrams. Additionally, Introduction to Pharmacolo...
Introduction to Pharmacology
Advances in pharmacogenomics and proteomics, along with the introduction of recombinant DNA technology, have expanded the applications of pharmacology to encompass a range of disciplines. Biomedical researchers, protein specialists, and molecular biologists are all involved in the development and delivery of novel drugs. Therefore, students in a va
Ryanodine Receptors
This is the first single source to present this important topic from the points of view of many international experts. Chapters written by morphologists, biochemists, pharmacologists, and molecular biologists from around the world are brought together to provide an introductory overview to this key component of intracellular signalling. This ideal text/reference will be useful to students of the basic sciences and medicine as well as professional scientists who want to update their knowledge in this field.
The Blackbird Papers
As World War II was winding down, German scientists achieved one last great scientific achievement: they used an antigravity propulsion system to launch a rocket to Mars. Their mission appeared to fail, until America's Mars Lander photographs it on Mars. While quickly kept secret from humanity, some are desperate to use this technology to attack Israel with bioterrorism.
Therapeutic Modulation of Cytokines
Cytokines are peptide or protein cell-to-cell signaling molecules that play vital roles in normal cell and tissue homeostasis, as well as in responses to infectious agents. Because of their importance in virtually all forms of pathology, the pharmaceutical industry is devoting great effort to develop methods for the control of cytokine synthesis or action. This is the first volume to bring together experts from academia and the pharmaceutical industry to discuss problems and solutions in the therapeutic control of cytokines. An introductory section reviews the biology, physiology, and pathology of cytokines. Internationally recognized scientists then discuss the development of low molecular ...
Pharmacology in Exercise and Sports
This is the first book to describe the pharmacological interaction of drugs and exercise with organ systems at molecular and cellular levels. It explains the effect of exercise on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs, and the activation or induction of antioxidant enzymes which may take place via the adenosine receptor or may occur due to gene expression.
Placental Pharmacology
Placenta plays a very significant role in the development of secretory and regulatory functions for the maintenance of pregnancy and in the nutrition of the embryo. It shares many functions of the heart, lung, liver, endocrines, and other organs. In Placental Pharmacology, fourteen expert authors discuss how placenta and its component parts can be used effectively in drug development research and in the study of transfer mechanisms across membranes. This reference begins by describing the use of modern biophysical methods to study placental function and prospects for their application in pharmacological research. The next three chapters deal with placental hemodynamics, use of placental tiss...
Pharmacological Effects of Ethanol on the Nervous System
This book dissects the effects of ethanol on the major neurotransmitter systems affected by ethanol and correlates these actions with the behavioral consequences. The subject is approached first from the perspective of the neurochemical system and the behaviors resulting from ethanol's effects on that system. The behaviors themselves are discussed in later chapters. Some older theories of the effects of ethanol such as the membrane fluidization hypothesis are evaluated in light of new and updated information. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) as well as the structural damage in the brain by long term ethanol exposure are also discussed.
ImmunoPharmaceuticals
Written by a leading researcher in immunology, ImmunoPharmaceuticals specifically focuses on immunologically active drugs recently tested for clinical activity or recently approved for medical use. Each chapter focuses on a single drug or class of drugs and discusses data from basic and preclinical research concerning mechanisms of action. Preclinical models are compared with clinical findings to allow the reader to evaluate the predictive value of those models. Featured drugs are being studied for therapy of cancer, arthritic disease, autoimmune disease, immunodeficiency disease, transplantation, and determination of sepsis. Overviews of the retinoids in cancer therapy and preclinical studies on flavonoids are featured.
Handbook of Toxicology, Second Edition
LOCATE FREQUENTLY USED INFORMATION EASILY AND QUICKLY Working in the laboratory or office, you use a diverse assortment of basic information to design, conduct, and interpret toxicology studies and to perform risk assessments. The Second Edition of the best-selling Handbook of Toxicology gives you the information you need in a single reference source. NEW IN THIS EDITION: Expanded coverage of inhalation toxicology, neurotoxicology, and histopathology Additional regulatory chapters dealing with pesticides, medical devices, consumer products, and world-wide notification of new chemicals Areas of toxicology missing from the first edition such as ecotoxicology and in vitro toxicology A chapter p...
