Chronic Inflammation
Although acute inflammation is a healthy physiological response indicative of wound healing, chronic inflammation has been directly implicated in a wide range of degenerative human health disorders encompassing almost all present day non-communicable diseases including autoimmune diseases, obesity, diabetes and atherosclerosis. Chronic Inflammation: Molecular Pathophysiology, Nutritional and Therapeutic Interventions provides an exposition of the process of chronic inflammation in three parts:...
Animal Nutrition and Transport Processes, Part 1 (Molecular Comparative Physiology, #5)
'This remarkable book ... Will be a kind of bible in which they can find practically all the facts, described in a critical and clear manner.' FEBS Letters.
This new and completely revised third edition is a concise, systematic and highly practical guide to the care of patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Clinically and problem-based, it covers emergency, inpatient and ambulatory diabetes care in the hospital and community, focusing particularly on difficult, grey and contentious areas of management, and seeks to guide advanced practitioners through problems that are not always emphasised. Up to date clinical trial results have been incorporat...
Bouchard: Fat Distribution during Growth & Later Health Outcomes (Proc.Quebec June 1987)
by C BOUCHARD
Author Phyllis Eisenstein, a long-time sufferer of inflammatory arthritis, had been an exemplary patient who carefully followed all of the drug therapies prescribed for her. Unfortunately, as soon as her body built up a tolerance to any medication, the pain would return. Potential drug toxicity and severe side effects simply became a part of her existence. The author decided that if there was a better way to stop the pain, she would find it. And to her credit - and amazement - she found a safe,...
Neuropeptides and Stress presents a comprehensive survey by leading pioneers in the field of the knowledge and concepts implicating neuropeptides in the regulations of responses to stress. Topics covered include: recent advances on the regulation and modulation of the behavioral, endocrine, autonomic, gastrointestinal, immune and analgesic responses to stress by neuropeptides. Neuroanatomical and biological data are considered. Special emphasis is given to corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) an...
Diabetes is Not a Piece of Cake fills a real void in what's available for the family, friends, colleagues and classmates of people with diabetes. In it you will find out what to do and what to avoid doing to help the person you care about who has diabetes. Subjects discussed vary from social events to emergencies. From appropriate recipes and going to restaurants to the symptoms of high and low blood sugar levels, and what you can do. There are easy to understand and thoughtful explanations of t...
This database, available in print and electronic form, provides information on chemical, physical, and toxicological properties of known and suspected environmental endocrine disruptors in a convenient easy-to-use format. Much of the research on EEDs has focused on the effects of these chemicals on wildlife, linking certain compounds to birth defects and abnormal development of immune and reproductive systems.

Methods in Neurosciences (Methods in Neurosciences, Vol 18)
Many of the phospholipases and even the receptor for inositol, 1,4,5-trisphosphate have recently been cloned and sequenced and play an important role in neurotransmission. This volume reviews methods for the examination of the enzymes and intermediates involved in the regulation of neuronal signal transduction involving phospholipid turnover. Major topics covered include: techniques for examining the role of phosphoinositides in signal transduction; techniques related to protein kinase C; analys...
