Produktbeschreibung

This book reflects the recent progress in bile acid metabolism and transport, nuclear receptor regulation and signaling by bile acids, as well as mechanisms of bile acid-induced cellular injury. Coverage examines bile acids as therapeutic agents, particularly for the treatment of cholestatic liver diseases. This volume in the Falk Symposium series brings together basic science and clinical hepatology in the field of bile acids.
