There is currently interest in the effect of peroxisome proliferation, and in proliferators and their modes of action. Peroxisomes (or "microbodies") are single membrane-limited cytoplasmic organelles present in the cells of animals, plants, fungi and protozoa.; This book describes the basic structure and functions of these organelles which are responsible for many cellular functions including an active auxilliary fatty acid B-oxidation system. During treatment with severally clinically used drugs and environmental contaminants, the synthesis of peroxisomes is greatly increased, this proliferation having a number of toxicological consequences particularly in relation to liver cancer.
