Peptidergic Mechanisms in the Cerebral Circulation (Ellis Horwood series in biomedicine) - L. Edvinsson, J. McCulloch (Editors)
in den Warenkorb This collection of twelve papers surveys all of the available information on the significance of peptides in cerebral circulation and connects, for the first time, the novel finding of immunocytochemistry with receptor description and blood flow regulation. It also relates the advances that have been made in our knowledge of the organization of cerebrovascular innervation to current concepts of cerebrovascular regulation. The information collected in the book, including the first critical analysis of the pathological significance of cerebrovascular peptides (e.g., in subarachnoid hemorrhage or in migraine), provides a comprehensible and clear view of the general pattern for neurogenic control of circulation. It represents a novel approach to this rapidly expanding area of research, suggesting future work in peripheral circulation and ultimately new means for the treatment of various cardiovascular disorders. |
