This book highlights the multifaceted roles of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in modulating normal cellular and molecular mechanisms during the development of different types of heart disease. Each chapter in the book deals with the role that altered redox homeostasis plays in the pathophysiology of heart disease. In addition, the book explains how reactive oxidant species interact with their targets and provides novel strategies for attenuating oxidative stress-induced types of heart disease.
The book not only covers ROS-induced response in heart disease at the cellular level, but also demonstrates that an imbalance of redox states has its roots in our genes, and explains the ways gene expression is regulated. In turn, it reviews potential sources of ROS, their pathological effects on the heart, and potential sites for therapeutic interventions.
Dr Sajal Chakraborti is a Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Kalyani, West Bengal, India. He completed his PhD at Calcutta University, Kolkata, India and his DSc at the University of Kalyani. He also pursued postdoctoral research at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore; University of Utah, Salt Lake City; and New York Medical College, New York as a Fulbright Fellow. He visited the University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, where he conducted research on f beta-adrenergic receptor activation in heart disease. His research mainly deals with the role of vasoactive agents in regulating vascular tone under oxidant and calcium signaling phenomena. He has been engaged in biochemistry teaching and research for the past 40 years (email: saj_chakra@rediffmail.com).

Dateiformat: PDFKopierschutz: Wasserzeichen-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
Systemvoraussetzungen:
Das Dateiformat PDF zeigt auf jeder Hardware eine Buchseite stets identisch an. Daher ist eine PDF auch für ein komplexes Layout geeignet, wie es bei Lehr- und Fachbüchern verwendet wird (Bilder, Tabellen, Spalten, Fußnoten). Bei kleinen Displays von E-Readern oder Smartphones sind PDF leider eher nervig, weil zu viel Scrollen notwendig ist. Mit Wasserzeichen-DRM wird hier ein „weicher” Kopierschutz verwendet. Daher ist technisch zwar alles möglich – sogar eine unzulässige Weitergabe. Aber an sichtbaren und unsichtbaren Stellen wird der Käufer des E-Books als Wasserzeichen hinterlegt, sodass im Falle eines Missbrauchs die Spur zurückverfolgt werden kann.
