The NPY-family of peptides encompasses several groups of neurotransmitters and hormones, which exert diverse biological and pathological actions that bear on all major vital systems. The recognition of the role of NPY in stimulation of food intake has already resulted in discovery of potent and selective NPY receptor Y-5 antagonists which are in clinical development for obesity while NPY Y1 ...
Inherited Metabolic Diseases are common enough for health, social service and education professionals to encounter them periodically, but rare enough for them to be poorly understood. They severely affect up to 1 in 10,000 people, and lead to a wide range of special needs in care and education. This guide provides specialist information on metabolic diseases for the non-specialist. In a concise, ...
THE BIOCHEMISTRY OF HUMAN NUTRITION: A DESK REFERENCE, SECOND EDITION, presents definitions and descriptions of all of the nutrition-related biochemical terms and concepts necessary to understand nutrition science. Each topic is written so that readers can gradually become familiar with or reacquaint themselves with the terminology.
Since cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) disease is the leading cause of death for adults in developed countries, many medical studies focus on treating or preventing heart disease and stroke. The metabolic syndrome, a collection of unhealthy body measurements and abnormal laboratory test results, may identify persons at high risk for developing cardiovascular disease. Aggressive lifestyle ...
Veteran's Affairs Medical Center, Denver, CO. Comprehensive overview of carbohydrate, protein, and lipid metabolism regulation in diabetic and nondiabetic humans. DNLM: Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent--metabolism.
This is a suitably vast book for a vast subject. It covers every aspect of the application of human genetics to medicine, and the reviews are not only an ideal introduction to a genetic disease, but are heavily referenced as well. This makes it ideal as a guide to the most recent literature on the ...
Delay and mistakes in the diagnosis of inherited metabolic diseases may have devastating consequences. Reference laboratory data are scattered and clinical descriptions of rare conditions are hard to locate. This book describes 298 disorders, grouped into 35 chapters according to the type of condition. Within each group of disorders, chapters provide tables of pertinent clinical findings as well ...
+ Beautiful book: concepts and the big picture + Great book for practical learning + Great initiation into the field + An Introduction to Systems Biology: Design Principles of Biological Circuits
Monash Univ., Clayton, Victoria, Australia. Provides comprehensive coverage of all commonly used HPLC techniques with step-by-step instructions. Presents examples of a wide range of peptide and protein applications and discusses key separation parameters for achieving high resolution. For researchers. DNLM: Peptides--chemistry.
This book provides essential nutrition basics. It is easy to understand and you can lift it without back strain. I bought it while midway through my graduate courses in nutrition, though should have read it before and used it as a reference during.
Technical Univ. of Denmark, Lyngby. Topics include: expanded role for metabolic engineering, metabolic engineering for L-Lysine production, overproduction of natural and unnatural polyketides, indene bioconversions in Rhodococcus sp. and more.
Biochemistry plays an important role in all areas of the biological and medical sciences. With most of the research or diagnosis involved in these areas being based on biochemically obtained observations, it is essential to have a profile of well standardized protocols. This manual is a basic guide for all students, researchers and experts in biochemistry, designed to help readers in directly ...
Excellent review of strategies for the evaluation of suspected inborn errors of metabolism. Simple and eloquent writing makes this an exceptional introduction to the topic for students, residents and fellows. Organized by organ system and symptom complex, it makes for easy referencing to ...
Metabolome analysis is now recognized as a crucial component of functional genomic and systems biology investigations. Innovative approaches to the study of metabolic regulation in microbial, plant and animal systems are increasingly facilitating the emergence of systems approaches in biology. This book highlights analytical and bioinformatics strategies now available for investigating metabolic ...
Mass spectrometry (MS) is fast becoming the premier tool for analyzing various drug metabolism samples in the early phases of drug discovery and research. Introducing the newer, more powerful MS equipment and exploring new applications for using them, this book provides a state-of-the-art look at this promising field. Using Mass Spectrometry for Drug Metabolism Studies is an excellent ...
The expert, up-to-date guidance you need to identify, understand, and treat neurogenetic disorders in children Written in a readily-accessible, highly-readable style, this unique reference offers a sound starting point and clinical step-by-step approach to treating the complex and often baffling neurogenetic diseases found in children. Conveniently organized by age groups from ...
Univ. of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology, UK. Text offers guidelines to currently available technology, bioinformatics, and databases now being developed. Evidence is presented showing metabolic profiling as a valuable addition to genomics and proteomics strategies devoted to drug discovery and development. Halftone illustrations.
Hands-on researchers review the principles behind successful miniaturization and describe the key techniques for miniaturizing large-scale biochemical and bioanalytical methods for microchip analysis. The authors cover not only the most popular methods for the fabrication of microchips (photolithography, laser ablation, and soft lithography), but also microfluidic techniques for such ...
