CARDIAC METABOLISM
Edited by A. J. Drake-Holland, St. George's Hospital Medical School, London, andM. I. M. Noble, Midhurst Medical Research Institute, West Sussex, UK
Containing chapters by new investigators in the field as well as by established authorities, this book provides a thought-provoking and comprehensive review of this vast and rapidly advancing subject.
Many aspects of cardiac metabolism are addressed, beginning with the handling of calcium ions, through biochemical reactions, to the metabolic factors concerning blood flow and performance. New techniques such as NMR are discussed, and the importance ofthe physiological aspects of cardiac metabolism as opposed to purely biochemical aspects is emphasized.
Invaluable reading for researchers and teachers in medicine, cardiology, physiology, human biology, biochemistry, and pharmacology.
Contents: Preface; Role of the plasmalemma for calcium homeostasis and for excitation-contraction coupling in cardiac muscle, H.... Tovább
