The authors of this contributed volume define various inclusions and supramolecular structures in prokaryotes as discrete bodies. Research on the biosynthesis, reutilization and physiological functions of the accumulated structures is still in progress, while the interest in the…
The Advanced Dairy Chemistry series was first published in four volumes in the 1980s (under the title Developments in Dairy Chemistry) and revised in three volumes in the 1990s and 2000s. The series is the leading reference on dairy chemistry, providing in-depth coverage of milk…
This book provides a comprehensive description of sterols and their novel biological roles in mammalian signaling, the book covers their biosynthesis and structure, describes sterol receptor -mediated actions, their tissue distribution and their role in disease. It offers insigh…
Zooplankton are the major primary consumers in pelagic ecosystems, providing the principal pathway for energy transfer from primary production to higher trophic levels. The marine copepod Calanus finmarchicus is an important component of the pelagic food web in the North Atlanti…
This book offers a wide ranging and review of cutting edge developments along with tried and tested methods for isolation, resolution and quantification of inositol phospholipids and inositol polyphosphates in both cells and tissues. It includes detailed and rigorous methodology…
New discoveries in genetics, molecular, and cell biology are not only enhancing our understanding of the etiology and progression of disease, but are finding applications in the development of new drugs or the implementation of new kinds of therapy. This book provides an in-dept…
"Lipids and Atherosclerosis comprehensively explores the array of new discoveries in genetics, molecular and cell biology in the last two decades, particularly in regard to lipidology and the treatment of cardiovascular disease." "With a real focus on the dynamic and often chang…
