Description for Neurochemical Aspects of Neurotraumatic and Neurodegenerative Diseases
Paperback. Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by chronic and progressive loss of neurons in discrete areas of the brain. This book presents cutting-edge, comprehensive information on the molecular aspects of acute neural trauma and neurodegenerative diseases. Num Pages: 424 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MJN; PSAN. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 22. Weight in Grams: 652.
Collectively, neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by chronic and progressive loss of neurons in discrete areas of the brain, producing debilitating symptoms such as dementia, loss of memory, loss of sensory or motor capability, decreased overall quality of life eventually leading to premature death. Two types of cell death are known to occur during neurodegeneration: (a) apoptosis and (b) necrosis. The necrosis is characterized by the passive cell swelling, intense mitochondrial damage with rapid loss of ATP, alterations in neural membrane permeability, high calcium influx, and disruption of ion homeostasis. This type of cell death leads to membrane lysis and ... Read more

About Akhlaq A. Farooqui
Dr. Akhlaq A. Farooqui is a leader in the field of brain phospholipases A2, bioactive ether lipid metabolism, polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolism, glycerophospholipid-, sphingolipid-, and cholesterol-derived lipid mediators, glutamate-induced neurotoxicity and neurological disorders. He has discovered the stimulation of plasmalogen-selective phospholipase A2 (PlsEtn-PLA2) in brains from patients with Alzheimer disease. Stimulation of PlsEtn-PLA2 produces plasmalogen deficiency and increases levels of ... Read more
Reviews for Neurochemical Aspects of Neurotraumatic and Neurodegenerative Diseases
From the reviews: “Farooqui summarizes the current knowledge about neurochemical aspects of trauma such as stroke and head injury and disease such as Alzheimer’s and prion disease. The book can serve as a reference for researchers and clinicians … . chapter projects future directions and developments in the field.” (SciTech Book News, December, 2010) “Readers will find the ...
