Airways Smooth Muscle: Biochemical Control of Contraction and Relaxation (RPP - Respiratory Pharmacology and Pharmacotherapy) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

The study of airways smooth muscle has intensified over recent years against a background of a growing incidence of asthma and other respiratory disorders. Building on the previous volumes in the series, this research monograph focuses upon the biochemical regulation of contraction and relaxation of airways smooth muscle. Written by recognised international experts, this up-to-date reference work includes chapters on actin, myosin, diglyceride and protein kinase C, inositol polyphosphates, current theories regarding mechanisms of force generation and maintenance, G-proteins, cyclic nucleotides and properties of airways smooth muscle cells in culture. All academic and clinical research workers in the field of airways smooth muscle physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology and cell and molecular biology should find this volume a useful source of information.
