Product Description: This book presents the latest breakthrough results in glycobiology regarding the roles of glycans in relation to quality control and transport of protein, the immune system, viral infection, stem cells, the neural system, and various diseases such as cancer, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, muscular dystrophy, and schizophrenia...read more

Product Description: The aim of the book is to provide a succinct overview of the current status of glycoscience from both basic biological and medical points of view and to propose future directions, in order to facilitate further integrations of glycoscience with other fields in biological and medical studies...read more

Product Description: The LEC strain of rats, which spontaneously develop acute hepatitis as­ sociated with jaundice, chronic hepatitis, and ultimately hepatocellular carcinomas, was established by scientists in Sapporo, Japan. Careful ob­ servation and breeding led to the initial discovery of this characteristic, inherited liver disease in rats...read more

Product Description: Nitric oxide is a highly potent regulatory molecule with great pharmaceutical potential. This handbook fills a real gap in combining the chemistry of nitric oxide releasing substances with their practical applications in biology and drug design...read more

Product Description: This book focuses on two major multidisciplinary topics on the Maillard reaction, that is food science and medical science. The former covers the reaction mechanism and kinetics and analytical aspect of the Maillard reaction, food technology, flavour chemistry, ecology and antioxidants, whereas the latter covers in vivo reaction of the Maillard reaction affecting human health and disease with a special focus on the significance of AGE in AGE-induced disease processes...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)
