Activation and Detoxification Enzymes (eBook, PDF)

Functions and Implications

Beschreibung

This book discusses the many advances in the understanding of the functions and implications of activation and detoxification enzymes. This organized, concise overview will meet the needs of those who are initially exposed to this important subject, particularly for students and researchers in the areas of biomedical sciences, biochemistry, nutrition, pharmacology, and chemistry. The book will also be valuable to advanced researchers. The book discusses subjects associated with foreign-compound-metabolizing enzymes with emphasis on biochemical aspects, including lipophilic foreign compounds, activation and detoxification enzymes, metabolic enzyme catalytic properties, reactive metabolic intermediates, biomedical and biochemical effects, genetic polymorphisms, enzyme inducibility, enzyme modulation for health benefits, dietary-related enzyme modulators, and structural characteristics of enzyme inducers. This new edition is updated throughout andfeatures completely new chapters on Oxidative and Electrophilic Stresses, Metabolite- Mediated Disease Conditions, and Defense Mechanism: Nrf2-ARE Pathway.

Rezensionen

"This book succeeds in delivering a broad overview of the subject with a bias towards food components and the consequences of anutrient intake - certainly an interesting aspect. ... this is satisfactory for those just embarking on a career into the fascinating but complex world of drug and foreign compound metabolism." (Steve Mitchell, International Society for the Study of Xenobiotics-Newsletter, January, 2013)
