Description for Glutamate Receptors in Peripheral Tissue
Hardback. Normal neurotransmission is altered during injury, causing excess calcium to activate enzymes which eventually leads to destruction of the cell. This damage occurs through glutamate receptors. This book shows their presence outside the CNS using molecular biology techniques and immunohistochemistry. Editor(s): Gill, Santokh; Pulido, Olga. Series: Endocrine Updates. Num Pages: 420 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MJN. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 254 x 178 x 24. Weight in Grams: 821.
Glutamate receptors (GluRs) in the central nervous system have been the subject of intense investigations for several decades, providing new avenues for the understanding of excitatory neurotransmission, excitotoxicity, mechanisms of injury, and therapeutics for several acute neurological conditions, such as brain trauma, and for neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders including addictions, Alzheimer disease, etc. Evidences of GluRs beyond the central nervous system were first reported in the early 1990s. When the idea of this book was conceived, the knowledge, specificity, and functional significance of GluRs in peripheral tissues was still in its embryonic stage. From our perspective, the idea of GluRs ... Read more
