Mitochondria in Liver Disease

Herausgeber: Han, Derick; Kaplowitz, Neil

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents the current state of knowledge and research on mitochondrial roles in liver diseases. Written by a group of global experts, it includes cutting-edge topics such as the regulation of mitochondrial respiration using hydrogen sulfide and the regulation of mitochondrial fusion-fission via the endoplasmic reticulum. It also addresses novel topics such as the importance of liver mitochondrial constituents as biomarkers of liver injury in plasma and as regulators of the immune system. An authoritative and comprehensive overview of current developments, it also marks key starting points for future research.
