CABI Publishing Poisonous Plants: Global Research and Solutions

Out of stock

Book SynopsisDespite decades of research, poisonous plants continue to be responsible for large economic losses to livestock producers throughout the world. As the expansion into rural areas and the use of rangelands increases, an understanding of plant toxicology has become ever more important. This book represents the product of a wide-range of research aimed at solving the various issues surrounding poisonous plants. Broader themes include plant biochemistry, toxic effects in animals and humans, and rangeland management approaches to prevent poisoning amongst others. Individual chapters address plant animal relationships, various classes of secondary plant compounds, isolation, identification and effects of these toxins on biological mammalian systems and analytical methods, diagnostic tools and management strategies for plant toxicoses in animals and humans.Table of Contents1: Overview 2: General/Case Reports 3: Liver 4: Reproduction 5: Treatment 6: CNS 7: Kidney, GI, Immunology 8: Management 9: Diagnosis 10: Chemistry 11: Mycotoxins 12: Herbal Products

Royal Society of Chemistry RNA Helicases

Out of stock

Book SynopsisRNA helicases and RNA helicase-like proteins are the largest group of enzymes in eukaryotic RNA metabolism and although they are subject to intense ongoing research there is much confusion about function and classification of these enzymes. Although these enzymes are essential for virtually all processes involving RNA, there is no overview detailing structure, function and/or biological roles of these pivotal proteins. This book provides the first comprehensive and systematic overview of biology, mechanism, and structure of RNA helicases and RNA helicase-like enzymes. Research into RNA helicases takes place in many different fields from cell and developmental biology to mechanistic enzymology, and structural biology and this book integrates the knowledge of these diverse fields into one valuable resource. It also provides an informative overview on the entire group of enzymes. Individual chapters on each subfamily of RNA helicases and RNA helicase-like proteins are written by experts in the respective fields. All chapters are systematically integrated and the reader is guided by a didactic introductory chapter. The main strengths of the book are the combination of systematics and details that will allow the reader to gain insight into results from diverse fields while maintaining a view of the entire field. It will be a key reference for academics, advanced students, researchers and professionals working in or joining this field.Table of ContentsForeword: Found in translation - the discovery of the first RNA helicase, eIF4A; Chapter 1: An Introduction to RNA helicases: Superfamilies, Families, and Major Themes; Chapter 2: The dynamic life with DEAD-box RNA helicases; Chapter 3: Mechanisms of DEAD-box Proteins in ATP-dependent Processes; Chapter 4: The Biology of DEAH/RHA Proteins and Their Mechanism of Action; Chapter 5: RIG-I-like RNA Helicases: Multidomain Proteins in Antiviral Innate Immunity and Processing of Small Regulatory RNAs; Chapter 6: Ski2-like proteins: Biology and Mechanism; Chapter 7: Viral DExH Proteins; Chapter 8: Superfamily 1 RNA helicases: Biology and Mechanism; Chapter 9: Hexameric Viral RNA Helicases; Chapter 10: Transcription Termination Factor Rho: a Ring-shaped RNA Helicase from Bacteria

Royal Society of Chemistry Hormone-Disruptive Chemical Contaminants in Food

1 in stock

Book SynopsisToday, we are surrounded by a multitude of different chemicals that are essential components of our everyday life. As a consequence, there are various hazardous substances like dioxins, phthalates and flame-retardants circulating in the environment. These have an impact on ecosystems, wildlife and possibly human health. In recent years, the phenomenon called endocrine disruption has raised considerable concern. This book discusses the scientific basis of this issue using epidemiological and experimental in vitro and in vivo data about chemicals targeting the hormonal systems. It also provides an up-to-date review of international initiatives (including high-throughput screening, use of model organisms and in silico applications) aiming to screen, detect and functionally test these chemicals. The authors are highly experienced academics and acknowledged experts with both multidisciplinary and international expertise. The book provides an up-to-date, in-depth review of the current field of food safety research describing many of the "hot topics" currently debated. Recent media attention concerning, for example, dioxins in meat and bisphenol A in baby bottles has created a growing interest in food safety-related issues from both consumers and authorities. In addition, European legislation REACH, which requires industry to extensively test chemicals, has led to new initiatives within this area. This book presents a comprehensive overview of the recent international initiatives formed to meet the challenges of environmental pollutants in our food.Table of ContentsIntroduction; Human exposure to food-borne chemicals; Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in food; Chemicals targeting the reproductive axis; Hormone-disruptive chemicals: effects on coming generations through epigenetic mechanisms; Naturally occurring, hormonally active compounds in our diet; ER isoforms as targets for nutrients and xenoestrogens; From exposure to effects: Role of metabolism in the bioactivation/detoxication of food contaminants; Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and bHLH-PAS transcription factors targeted by dietary and xenobiotic compounds; Small model organisms as tools in food safety research; Reporter animals as tools in food safety research; In silico screening approaches; Genomic approaches to toxicology and nutrition; Large-scale screening of chemicals; Summary and future perspectives.
