Description
Taylor & Francis Molecular Biology of the Toxic Response 1998 Edition by Alvaro Puga, Kendall Wallace
Encouraging the incorporation of molecular biology techniques into the experimental approach to various toxicological problems, the format of the book is two-staged. Each chapter first introduces how various molecular techniques can be successfully applied to solving a specific toxicology question and proceeds to describe the techniques themselves. Also included is a discussion of the benefits and limitations of these techniques . This book will prove of value to practising researchers, but also to graduate students dealing with conceptual issues relating to molecular toxicology. Table of contents :- 1. Identification of Genes of Toxicologic Relevance 2. Molecular Indicators of Exposure to Genotoxic Chemicals 3. Uses of Reporter Genes in Toxicology 4. Mechanism of Action of Non-Genotoxic Compounds 5. Signal Transduction in Toxicology 6. Co-evaluation of Toxic and Detoxification Processes.
