Book Description
Based on a recent symposium sponsored by the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB), thisunique, single-source reference critically analyzes the role of peptides in promoting or suppressing inflammation. Thoroughly examines the therapeutic potential of key peptides, analogs, agonists, and antagonists that influence cell injury and repair! Written by acknowledged international experts representing distinguished institutions throughout the world, Proinflammatory and Antiinflammatory Peptides discusses cytokines and inflammation covers neuropeptides, endothelins, and tachykinin peptides details peptide modulation and regulation presents peptide chemistry and biochemistry elucidates the pharmacology of peptide synthesis explains enzymatic degradation addresses peptide molecular biology and much more!
