Signal transduction in cardiovascular system health and disease

Signal Transduction in Cardiovascular System Health and Disease highlights the major contributions of different signaling systems in modulating normal cardiovascular functions and how a perturbation in these signaling events leads toabnormal cell functions and cardiovascular disorders. This title is volume 3 in the new Springer series, Advances in Biochemistry in Health and Disease. Contributions from internationally renowned researchers A must-read book for scientists working in academia as well as pharmaceutical industry Would be highlyappreciated by students, as well as clinical researchers working in the area of cardiovascular diseases INDICE: From the contents G-protein coupled receptor signaling.- Implication of G-proteins in cardiovascular diseases.- b-Adrenoceptor-Linked Signal Transduction Mechanisms in Congestive Heart Failure.- Cardiac Ga s and Ga i Modulate Sympathetic Versus Parasympathetic Mechanisms in Hyperhomocysteinemia.- The role of the beta-adrenergic signal transduction pathway in myocardial protection.- Angiotensin II signaling in vascular physiology and pathophysiology.- Angiotensin II signaling: cell growth and apoptosis.- Redox signaling.- Thioredoxin signaling in the ischemic heart.- Relationship between redox regulation and beta- adrenergic resposes in heart.- Role of hypergycemia and redox-inducedsignaling in vascular complications of diabetes.- Methylglyoxal and Insulin Resistance.
