Molecular Mechanisms and Physiology of Disease

Molecular mechanisms and physiology of disease-1

Nilanjana Maulik • Tom Karagiannis Editors 2014 Implications for Epigenetics and Health Although coined in the 1940s by Conrad Waddington and now representing an intense field of biomedical research, the precise definition of Epigenetics remains controversial. In its simplest form epigenetics refers to heritable changes that are not due to changes in the underlying DNA sequence. Whereas DNA […]

Metabolism of Human Diseases

Metabolism of Human Diseases-1

Eckhard Lammert • Martin Zeeb Editors 2014 Organ Physiology and Pathophysiology The scientific community has increasingly recognized metabolic alterations as being critical components or even drivers of human disease. Metabolism of Human Diseases discusses the metabolism and signaling pathways in tissues and organs known to be relevant for common human diseases. It thus bridges the existing gap between biochemistry and physiology textbooks, […]

Impact of Sleep and Sleep Disturbances on Obesity and Cancer

Impact of Sleep and Sleep Disturbances on Obesity and Cancer-1

Susan Redline • Nathan A. Berger Editors 2014 Sleep has recently been recognized as a critical determinant of energy balance, regulating restoration and repair of many of the physiological and psychological processes involved in modulating energy intake and utilization. Emerging data indicate that sleep can now be added to caloric intake and physical activity as major determinants of energy […]
