Gliogenesis
By: Clascá, F.; Frotscher, M.
Published by: Springer
Almost a century and a half of study produced substantial progress in our understanding of glial cells and their development. This account describes development of glia in the CNS. It also describes the development of Schwann cells, the glia found in the PNS, and emphasizes on morphological observations of developing mammalian nervous tissues.

Glutathione and Sulfur Amino Acids in Human Health and Disease
By: Masella, Roberta; Mazza, Giuseppe
Published by: Wiley
Glutathione and Sulfur Amino Acids in Human Health and Disease. Edited by Roberta Masella and Giuseppe Mazza. The complex roles of glutathione and sulfur amino acids in human health. Glutathione (Á-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinylglycine, GSH) is a major antioxidant acting as a free radical scavenger that protects the cell from reactive oxygen species (ROS). Sulfur amino acids (SAAs), such as methionine and cysteine, play a critical role in the maintenance of health. GSH depletion as well as alterations of SAA metabolism are linked to a host of disease states including liver cirrhosis, various pulmonary diseases, myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury, aging, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, sepsis, and others. This book provides researchers with a comprehensive review of the biochemistry, absorption, metabolism, biological activities, disease prevention, and health promotion of glutathione and sulfur amino acids. The twenty-two chapters explore such topics as:.; Chemistry, absorption, transport, and metabolism of GSH and sulfur amino acids.; Antioxidant and detoxification properties of GSH and sulfur amino acids, highlighting the enzymatic systems involved in antioxidant defenses.; Biological activities of GSH and sulfur amino acids and their role in modulating cell processes.; Role of GSH and sulfur amino acid deficiency and alteration in the onset of diseases and in aging.; Protective effects exerted by GSH and sulfur amino acids when used as drugs, functional foods, and nutraceuticals in humans and animals. Special attention is paid to the molecular mechanisms for the modulation of transcription factors and enzyme activities, as well as the nutritional and therapeutic significance of dietary sulfur amino acids as shown in human and animal models. With more than 2,000 scientific references, this book provides food scientists, nutritionists, biochemists, food technologists, chemists, molecular biologists, and public health professionals with a comp

Hormones
By: Norman, Anthony W.; Litwack, Gerald
Published by: Academic Press (Elsevier Science & Technology Books)
The newly revised and updated Hormones, Second Edition provides a comprehensive treatment of human hormones, viewed in light of modern theories of hormone action and in the context of current understanding of subcellular and cellular architecture and classical organ physiology. Each chapter presents a physiological description of the hormone system under consideration, followed by a listing of the mode-of-action of the hormone. This book includes significant advances in the molecular biology of receptors, hormones, and studies of hormone action that have transpired over the past five years. The text updates the material on enzymes related to steroid metabolism and new hormone systems, as well as providing a new chapter on hormones and cancer.
