This volume contains the proceedings of the International Symposium on Function and Biosynthesis of Lipids held November 1976 at Sierra de la Ventana, Argentina. The conference was organized by the Argentine Biochemical Society and co-sponsored by the International Union of Biochemistry and the Pan American Association of Biochemical Societies. The contributions are organized in four sections, preceded by the opening lecture on the role of dolichol phosphate in glycoprotein biosynthesis delivered by Dr. Luis F. Leloir. The first section, on aspects of lipid involvement in the biogenesis of membranes, covers the biosynthesis of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, including enzymology, bios...
Abstract: This book discusses the possibility that the activity of any substance that is health-promoting or health-destructive in a given concentration may reverse its role and become respectively health-destructive or health-promoting at a different concentration. The author presents numerous examples of vitamins and minerals that reverse their customary action at different concentrations. It is speculated that the reverse effect may be used to find new therapies for cancer and other diseases.
Vols. 3-140 include the society's Proceedings, 1907-41
