Zusatztext "? is very timely! bringing readers up to date with various facets of the work being carried out. ? For an in-depth discussion of certain aspects of nitric oxide in mammalian systems! this is a very good book to read! with the excellent referencing that will allow for expanded further reading. ?" - John T Hancock! School of Biosciences! University of the West of England! U.K.! in The Quartely Review of Biology! Vol. 81! December 2006 Informationen zum Autor Santiago Lamas Klappentext This is the first comprehensive work to showcase the useful diversity of cellular effects elicited by nitric oxide. A collection of expert contributors provides cutting-edge information on a variety of topics with tremendous implications in biology and medicine. These include nitric oxide-driven cell signaling; nitric oxide's role in hypoxia! gene expression! gene regulation in pulmonary pathophysiology! cell metabolism modulation! and tumor biology; and the intriguing concept of mitochondrial nitric oxide synthase as a regulator of mitochondrial bioenergetics and free radical production. Zusammenfassung Since the nineteenth century, when engineers were using nitroglycerin to blow up rockbeds, and doctors were prescribing it to relieve angina, scientists have been exploring the incredible and often baffling behavior of nitric oxide. This title showcases the useful diversity of cellular effects elicited by nitric oxide.
