Description for Hot Topics in Neural Membrane Lipidology
Hardback. Glycerophospholipid and sphingolipid-derived lipid mediators facilitate the transfer of messages between cells as well as between subcellular organelles. This book gives readers a comprehensive description of their involvement in neurological disorders. Num Pages: 408 pages, 62 black & white illustrations, 27 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: MJN. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 241 x 156 x 24. Weight in Grams: 736.
Glycerophospholipid and sphingolipid-derived lipid mediators facilitate the transfer of messages not only from one cell to another but also from one subcellular organelle to another. These molecules are not only components of neural membranes but also storage depots for lipid mediators. Information on the generation and involvement of lipid mediators in neurological disorders is scattered throughout the literature in the form of original papers and reviews. This book will provide readers with a comprehensive description of glycerophospholipid, sphingolipid and cholesterol-derived lipid mediators and their involvement in neurological disorders.
