Adenosine and Adenine Nucleotides: From Molecular Biology to Integrative Physiology / Edition 1

by Luiz Belardinelli, A. Pelleg

Overview

This book contains a selection of lectures given during the 5th International Symposium on Adenosine and Adenine Nucleotides, recently held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Adenosine and Adenine Nucleotides: From Molecular Biology to Integrative Physiology covers a wide range of subjects from molecular and cellular biology to clinical applications. A great emphasis has been placed on cutting edge information derived from studies using molecular and cellular biology techniques applied to the field of adenosine and adenine nucleotide research. The book also includes information on potentially promising developments in the therapeutic applications of adenosine related drugs and ATP. The tradition of past meetings is also maintained by including in the program presentations of new research in the areas of purine metabolism and physiology, and pharmacology of adenosine and adenine nucleotides.
Adenosine and Adenine Nucleotides: From Molecular Biology to Integrative Physiology is an excellent, up-to-date reference book for basic and clinical scientists in the field of adenosine and adenine nucleotides.

Editorial Reviews

Contains 55 chapters that summarize lectures given during the Fifth International Symposium on Adenosine and Adenine Nucleotides, held in Philadelphia, May 1994. The chapters are arranged within sections devoted to molecular and cellular biology of adenosine and ATP; medicinal chemistry; purine release and metabolism; physiology and pharmacology of adenosine and ATP--effects on tissue and organs (renal system/cardiovascular system/nervous system/other systems); cytoprotective actions of adenosine (cardioprotection/neuroprotection/renal protection); and therapeutic applications (cardiovascular/nervous system/other applications).
