This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2000: Pesticides and other agricultural chemicals are in use in virtually every country in the world. It is therefore useful and important to those involved with these chemicals to have a collection of data concerning the substances most commonly used for agricultural purposes. This Handbook includes data on over 1,800 substances, including a number of mixtures, which are important in agriculture. Almost all records describing pure chemicals carry the appropriate CAS Registry Number and the associated EINECS Number. All chemicals in this edition which also appear in the twelfth edition of the Merck Index have the Merck Index Number provided. Wherever possible, the following information is also provided for each entry: definitions, classifications, chemical composition, functions, applications, suppliers, melting point, boiling point, density or specific gravity, refractive index, optical rotation, ultraviolet absorption, solubility, and acute toxicity.

Download or read book Methods in Renal Toxicology written by Rudolfs K. Zalups and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1996-03-14 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only up-to-date compilation of renal methods available, this book is the definitive resource for any renal researcher eager to stay ahead. Methods in Renal Toxicology presents a vast array of methods for the study of renal cellular and tubular structure, function, and biochemistry under physiological, toxicological, and pathological conditions. It provides detailed descriptions in easy-to-understand language of methods designed to enhance your research efforts. Methods in Renal Toxicology puts you on the cutting edge with valuable chapters detailing molecular methods and transgene and gene targeting - the most recent approaches to the study of renal toxicology. Overall, the book's topics range from non-invasive assessments of renal function in the whole animal and clinical settings to cellular and molecular approaches. Specifically, the book delves into measurements of clearance and urinary markers, histopathology, and methods to assess renal carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, oxidative stress, mitochondria injury, cellular repair, and drug metabolism and transport. A variety of in vitro methods are also described, including the isolated perfused kidney, micropuncture, microperfusion, microdissection, renal slices, isolated perfused tubules, suspensions of tubules and isolated cells, and primary cell cultures and cell lines. Methods in Renal Toxicology is a must-have resource for all renal investigators. Nowhere else can you find concise descriptions of traditional and up-to-the-minute renal toxicology methods in such a practical, well-written single-volume guide.
Download or read book Heme and Hemoproteins written by K.W. Bock and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of the biological effects of foreign chemicals (whether therapeutic drugs or chemicals present at work or in the environment) interests the biologist from a number of different and complementary viewpoints. Apart from the more obvious pharmacological and toxicological interest, the experimentalist often uses foreign chemicals to produce in experimental animals disease states similar to naturally occurring diseases, so that their pathogenetic mechanisms and therapy can be studied under controlled conditions. In addition - as Claude Bernard pointed out over a century ago - foreign chemicals can be employed as instruments to analyze the most delicate vital processes; much can be learned about the physiological processes themselves by a careful study of the mechanisms by which these are altered by chemicals. The field of heme and hemoproteins offers an example of the interplay of these different approaches. Their metabolism can be altered by therapeutic drugs and other foreign chemicals and this results in a variety of biological responses that transcend the boundaries of pharmacology into the confines of clinical medi cine, genetics, toxicology, biochemistry and physiology. In this book a multidisciplinary approach to the study of heme metabolism is presented including the effect of chemicals on heme metabolism in patients, the results of experimental work in the whole animal, as well as in vitro studies.

Download or read book Mechanisms of Injury in Renal Disease and Toxicity written by Robin Goldstein and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Goldstein has authored more than 50 publications and co-edited two books. Her latest contribution to the field of nephrology, Mechanisms of Injury in Renal Disease and Toxicity, promotes an understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanisms mediating renal dysfunction in disease. It provides an important perspective in understanding mechanisms of chemically induced renal injury. Over the past decade, understanding of the pathophysiologic and molecular basis of renal disease has grown tremendously. New and evolving concepts on the pathophysiology of glomerulonephritis, chronic glomerular injury, diabetic nephropathy, and acute renal failure are changing the clinical management of these disease states.

Download or read book Microsomes and Drug Oxidations written by James R. Gillette and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microsomes and Drug Oxidations documents the proceedings of symposium on microsomes and drug oxidations held at Bethesda, Maryland, 16-17 February 1968. The theme of the symposium centered on the morphology of the liver endoplasmic reticulum, the localization of enzyme systems, the mechanisms for regulating enzyme activity, and the mechanisms of enzyme action. The results of this symposium presented in this book illustrate the complexity of the enzyme systems under investigation and the multiplicity of the variables altering their function. It is hoped the information presented will serve as a stimulus to other investigators in the elucidation of these problems. The book contains 27 papers organized into four parts. The papers in Part I examine the morphological and biochemical characteristics of microsomes. Part II presents studies on electron transfer components. Part III examines alterations of microsomal enzymes while Part IV focuses on drugs and protein synthesis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biological Oxidation Systems, Volume I is a collection of papers presented at the 1989 Bangalore Symposium on Oxygen Systems. This symposium covers various research studies on the essential roles, and the dangers of dioxygen reactions in biology. This volume is organized into five parts encompassing 32 chapters, and starts with an overview of the biological oxidation mechanisms involving oxygen and reduced oxygen derivatives. Parts I and II deal with the catalytic role of cytochrome P-450 and oxidase and oxygenase containing a flavin or pteridine enzymes in several biological oxidation reactions. These parts examine the biochemical aspects, reaction kinetics, and reaction mechanisms of such reactions. Parts III and IV describe first the structure function and properties of copper-containing oxidases and oxygenases. These parts also discuss the role of nonheme iron-containing and other oxygenases in the indole metabolism. Part V focuses on the role of peroxidase enzymes in cell protection and metabolism. This book will prove useful to biologists, enzyme scientists, and researchers.
