Signal Transduction and the Gasotransmitters: NO, CO, and by Rui Wang (auth.), Rui Wang MD, PhD, FAHA (eds.)

By Rui Wang (auth.), Rui Wang MD, PhD, FAHA (eds.)

Gasotransmitters-principally nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-are endogenous signaling molecules that play an important function within the biomedical, medical, and healthiness sciences, in addition to in inhabitants healthiness stories. In sign Transduction and the Gasotransmitters: NO, CO, and H2S in Biology and drugs, a panel of exotic researchers and clinicians evaluate the organic and biomedical features of gasotransmitters, emphasizing their signaling transduction mechanisms quite often, and ion channel rules particularly. The authors speak about the endogeneous metabolism and law of gasotransmitters, their toxicological profiles and organic activities, and their interactions when it comes to their creation and results. The physiological roles of NO, CO, and H2S within the rules of the cardiovascular, neuronal, and gastrointestinal structures, in addition to of mobile metabolism, also are reviewed, in addition to the interplay of the gastrotransmitters with KATP,KCa voltage-gated Ca2+, voltage-gated Na+, and cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channels. integrated within the array of alternative mechanisms for the interplay of NO, CO, and H2S are channel phosphorylation, S-nitrosylation, carboxylation, sulfuration, and changed mobile redox prestige. The authors additionally supply tips and recommendations for exploring and additional characterizing different nonetheless unknown gasotransmitters.
Authoritative and accomplished, sign Transduction and the Gasotransmitters: NO, CO, and H2S in Biology and drugs bargains medical scientists and physicians not just a deeper knowing, but in addition a state of the art assessment, of the significantly vital box of gasotransmitter biology and medicine.
