Mitochondrial Medicine

Mitochondrial Metabolism, Diseases, Diagnosis and Therapy

Mitochondrial Medicine is a relatively new areawhere several disciplines from basic science to clin-ical medicine converge. Mitochondrial medicinedeals with diseases that are related to mitochondrialdysfunction due to a number of causes from free rad-ical damage to genetic mutation. A primary featureof mitochondrial dysfunction is impaired cellularbioenergetics. This book is based upon extensive da-ta gathered over 30 years of clinical and experimen-tal research. Internationally recognized authors sharetheir experience and state-of-the-art knowledge invarious fields of their expertise such as mitochondri-al cardiology, neurology, diabetology, nephrology,immunology, rheumatology, reproductive medicine,sports medicine, and chronobiology, and guide read-ers through the disease process, from basic biochem-ical mechanisms to diagnosis to therapeutic aspects.Laboratory evaluation plays a very important role inthe diagnosis of mitochondrial diseases, in additionto clinical assessment. This includes [..]

Drug Discovery and Evaluation

Pharmacological Assays

The rapid progress in biology will continue tochange the methodological approach to drug dis-covery in the coming years. Electronic media willcontinuously help researchers to access and shareinformation. It is, however, becoming more andmore evident that many young pharmacologistshave only limited training in classical pharmaco-logical methodologies. These long-standing andstill highly relevant methods are simply not avail-able in the electronic databases. Drug Discovery andEvaluation:Pharmacological Assays bridges this gapby comprehensively covering the pharmacologi-cal methods that have been utilized successfully formore than a hundred years as well as the latest tech-nologies. The classical methods and the newest tech-nologies, all in one book! The 3rd edition of this suc-cessful reference book contains an updated selectionof the most frequently used assays for reliably detect-ing the pharmacological effects of potential drugs.Effects covered include cardiovascular, analgesic, en-docrine, [..]
