Temperature regulation has witnessed many important developments in recent years. Body temperature is regulated by many internal and external influences. These include physiological and biochemical processes, climate, clothing, exercise, hibernation, diseases and pharmacological agents. This volume provides reviews of the latest research results and emerging themes in the field. Aspects discussed include fever, acute-phase immune response, cytokines, thermoregulatory peptides, neurophysiology, the neonate, mechanism of heat production, the role of brown adipose tissue, and ecological and behav

Programmed cell death (PCD) has become a topic of widespread interest and experimentation over the past decade. Written by experts in the field,Apoptosis: Pharmacological Implications and Therapeutic Opportunities concentrates on presenting an overview of PCD pathways as they are currently understood, and strives to identify important unanswered questions as well as other therapeutic possibilities suggested by recent biochemical discoveries. Understanding the biochemical pathways that participate in the cell death process has become an important goal in developmental biology, neurobiology, car

A Doody’s Core Title ESSENTIAL PURCHASE! 5 STAR DOODY’S REVIEW! "The 11th edition of Goodman & Gilman continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative single source on the pharmacology of drugs. The first edition was published by Alfred Gilman and Louis Goodman in 1941. It soon became known as the bible of pharmacology and, even though editorship and chapter authorships have changed continuously from edition to edition, this remains the gold standard of pharmacology textbooks....The print version should be on the reference shelf and the digital version on the computer deskt

Prostanoids are a group of fat-soluble compounds synthesised by almost every cell in the human body, and they are essential to the proper functioning of the organs. Interruption to the constant rate of formation and release of prostanoids may cause life-threatening conditions to develop, for example a deficiency may exacerbate or cause strokes, heart disease, diabetes and an excess is implicated in arthritis. The interest in the structure and functions of prostanoids is great and much research effort has been spent on elucidating facts about them. This book makes explicit the present knowledge
