Product Review
"A unique textbook in the field of toxicology, as it will give graduate students help in understanding the relationship between biochemical mechanisms and toxicology."--David McMillan, Medical University of South Carolina
"Good background text for Mechanisms in Toxicology courses. Individual areas well summarized and reviewed."--Katherine S. Squibb, University of Maryland at Baltimore
"Finally, an affordable graduate-level text that covers most of what I think students need to develop a basic understanding of concepts and techniques used to study mechanisms of action."--Ann DePeyster, M.D., San Diego State University
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
The science of toxicology has progressed considerably since Molecular Toxicology was first published in 1997. New advances in biochemical and molecular biological experimental techniques have helped researchers understand the precise effects of toxins and foreign compounds on living things at the molecular, cellular, and organismal levels. Breakthrough research has recently been completed illuminating the human genome and the role of enzymes in toxic biochemical reaction mechanisms. Toxicology now covers drug metabolism and design, carcinogenesis, programmed cell death, and DNA repair, among other subjects. The second edition captures these and other advances, and broadens its scope to address the experimental science of toxicology. The first edition of Molecular Toxicology has become an indispensable resource for graduate students in molecular and biochemical toxicology courses, as well as academic researchers and industrial researchers in toxicology. Rigorously updated and revised, the new edition commands an unrivaled authority in the field of molecular toxicology.
