Nutrients and Cell Signaling

Informationen zum Autor Janos Zempleni! Krishnamurti Dakshinamurti Klappentext While cell signaling has been a major focus of molecular biology for more than 30 years! only recently have the direct roles of nutrients in cell signaling received the proper recognition. This book provides a comprehensive review of the roles of nutrients in cell signaling. Leading experts in nutrient-dependent cell signaling discuss a broad range of topics and include select examples from an array of areas. These examples describe nuclear receptors! transcription factors! and signaling cascades; nitric oxide; chromatin structure; amino acids! lipids! and glycation; calcium dependent signaling; feeding and nutrient homeostasis; and more. Zusammenfassung Describes the role of nutrients in cell signaling. This book discusses the role of carbohydrates, amino acids, lipids, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements in essential processes such as cell proliferation, immune function, and DNA repair. It is suitable for those professionals and students in molecular biology, nutrition, and biochemistry. Inhaltsverzeichnis Nuclear receptors! transcription factors! and signaling cascades. Amino acids! lipids! and glycation. Insulin release! signaling! and insulin resistance. Calcium-dependent signaling. Feeding and nutrient homeostasis.
