Heart and Toxins
The Heart and Toxins brings together global experts to provide the latest information and clinical trials that make the connection between genetic susceptibility, gene expression, and environmental factors in cardiovascular diseases. This unique reference, edited by renowned cardiologist Meenakshi Sundaram Ramachandran, solves the problem of managing multiple clinical cases of cardiovascular toxicity. It allows connections to be made between research, diagnosis, and treatment to avoid higher morbidity and mortality rates as a result of cardiovascular toxicity. - Structured to bring together exploration into the epidemiology, molecular mechanism, pathogenesis, environmental factors and manage...

Antidotes to Toxins and Drugs
Antidotes to Toxins and Drugs: From Natural Sources to Drug Discovery in Toxicology presents recent advances in the discovery of natural antidotes to toxins, drug intoxications and overdoses in pharmacology, drug discovery and toxicology. The text provides detailed information about toxins and their natural antidotes, along with the identification and screening of antidotes for drug intoxications and overdoses. Written by a global team of experts, it describes the potential uses of natural products in toxicology and their applications in medicine and in the pharmaceutical sciences. This book will be a key resource for drug developers, medicinal chemists and toxicologists, among others.Sectio...
The Comprehensive Sourcebook of Bacterial Protein Toxins
This book describes the major achievements and discoveries relevant to bacterial protein toxins since the turn of the new century illustrated by the discovery of more than fifty novel toxins (many of them identified through genome screening). The establishment of the three-dimensional crystal structure of more than 20 toxins during the same period offers deeper knowledge of structure-activity relationships and provides a framework to understand how toxins recognize receptors, penetrate membranes and interact with and modify intracellular substrates. - Edited by two of the most highly regarded experts in the field from the Institut Pasteur, France - 14 brand new chapters dedicated to coverage...
Plant Toxin Analysis
Chemical defence by means of toxins poisonous to other organisms, be they animals or plants, is widespread amongst the plant kingdom - including microorganisms as well. This book embraces the analysis of a wide range of plant toxins and this fills a gap in the plant pathology and ecological biochemistry fields. The topics covered include toxic extracellular enzymes, host selective toxins, elicitors, phototoxins, aflatoxins, mycotoxins, and ecotoxic substance tests by pollen germination and growth. The analytical procedures, which are used to evaluate the toxins, are covered in such a way that the reader is able to carry them out mostly solely by following the detailed descriptions.
Marine and Freshwater Toxins
In recent years, the field of Toxinology has expanded substantially. On the one hand it studies venomous animals, plants and micro organisms in detail to understand their mode of action on targets. While on the other, it explores the biochemical composition, genomics and proteomics of toxins and venoms to understand their three interaction with life forms (especially humans), development of antidotes and exploring their pharmacological potential. Therefore, Toxinology has deep linkages with biochemistry, molecular biology, anatomy and pharmacology. In addition, there is a fast developing applied subfield, clinical toxinology, which deals with understanding and managing medical effects of tox...
Seafood and Freshwater Toxins
The occurrence of marine and freshwater toxins is a rapidly evolving problem due to ever-changing circumstances. Expanding international commerce is forcing cargo ships into virgin territory, deforestation and pollution violate the natural ecological balance, and a changing climate holds unknown potential to alter current factors and trigger toxic blooms in new forms, at new rates, and in new places. Fortunately, with notable advances in analysis technology, the body of knowledge in the field is equally dynamic. In just six years since the first edition, toxins that warranted only line listings, including pfiestra, gambierol, and polycavernoside, are now worthy of entire chapters, requiring ...
Monitoring Human Tissues for Toxic Substances
The National Human Monitoring Program (NHMP) identifies concentrations of specific chemicals in human tissues, including toxicologic testing and risk assessment determinations. This volume evaluates the current activities of the NHMP; identifies important scientific, technical, and programmatic issues; and makes recommendations regarding the design of the program and use of its products.
Bacterial Toxins
Experienced researchers describe in step-by-step detail powerful methods for the investigation of bacterial exo- and endotoxins. These state-of-the-art techniques range from purification and detection methods to methods of conformational analysis, and include the use of phage antibody libraries and methods of structural and functional analyses of endotoxins. Each protocol is described by a scientist who has regularly used the method and optimized it to a high level of performance. Extensive notes deal with the difficulties that may arise when using the method and with the method's limitations and possible modification for other purposes. Cutting-edge and geared to producing successful experimental results, Bacterial Toxins: Methods and Protocols provides investigators with a first-rate collection of readily reproducible methods designed to help today's bacterial toxin investigators-both novice and expert-utilize a wide array of powerful research tools.
Toxin
Just when you thought it was safe to eat a hamburger again, Robin Cook – master of medical mysteries, deadly epidemics, and creepy comas – returns with an all too likely villain drawn right from current headlines: the American meat industry. If you've ever wondered where the E. coli bacteria comes from, and exactly how it can ravage the human body, destroying everything in its path, this is the book for you. As usual, in Toxin, Cook delivers solid information, well-researched medical arcana, and a scathing indictment of managed health care.
