Introduction to Food Toxicology (Food Science and Technology)

Introduction to Food Toxicology (Food Science and Technology)
Academic Press | Pages: 213 |1993-06-14 | ISBN: 0126400253 | 2 MB | PDF

The area of food toxicology currently has a high profile of interest in the food industry, universities, and government agencies, and is certainly of great concern to consumers. There are many books which cover selected toxins in foods (such as plant toxins, mycotoxins, pesticides, or heavy metals), but this book represents the first pedagogic treatment of the entire range of toxic compounds found naturally in foods or introduced by industrial contamination or food processing methods. Featuring coverage of areas of vital concern to consumers, such as toxicological implications of food adulteration (as seen in ethylene glycol in wines or the Spanish olive oil disaster) or pesticide residues, Introduction to Food Toxicology will be of interest to students in toxicology, environmental studies, and dietetics as well as anyone interested in food sources and public health issues.
The number of students who are interested in toxicology has increased dramatically in the past several years. Issues related to toxic materials have received more and more attention from the public. The issues and potential problems are reported almost daily by the mass media, including television, newspapers, and magazines. Major misunderstandings and confusion raised by those reports are generally due to lack of basic knowledge about toxicology among consumers. This textbook provides the basic principles of food toxicology in order to help the general public better understand the real problems of toxic materials in foods.]]> free book city Fri, 30 May 2008 19:30:40 +0430 Animal Cell Culture Techniques (Springer Lab Manual) http://www.freebookcity.com/2008/04/27/animal-cell-culture-techniques.html http://www.freebookcity.com/2008/04/27/animal-cell-culture-techniques.html

The Unified Airway, An Issue of Otolaryngologic Clinics (2008)

Description: A model developed in the past 5 years is that of the "Unified Airway." The concept in this model is that the respiratory mucosa from the middle ear, through the nose and sinuses, down the trachea and through the larynx, and into the bronchioles represents a common epithelium that responds to stimuli in a similar manner. Diseases that affect one portion of this epithelium, therefore, will commonly affect one or more other components. This model has been used to explain the strong overlap and comorbidities among diseases such as allergic rhinitis, chronic rhinosinusitis, and asthma. Since otolaryngologists commonly treat patients with rhinitis, rhinosinusitis, and laryngitis, a full exploration of the overlap among these diseases, as well as the importance of lower respiratory inflammation, is presented in this issue.]]> free book city Fri, 18 Apr 2008 11:16:12 +0430 2D PAGE: Sample Preparation and Fractionation: Volume 2 (Methods in Molecular Biology Volume 425) http://www.freebookcity.com/2008/04/11/2d-page-sample-preparation-and.html http://www.freebookcity.com/2008/04/11/2d-page-sample-preparation-and.html

Much progress has been made in elucidating the mechanisms regulating the induction and progression of inflammatory diseases. More recently, however, it has become apparent that the manipulation of mechanisms governing the resolution of inflammation is an important way to develop novel strategies for the therapy of such diseases. This book provides an up-to-date and comprehensive view on the resolution of inflammation and on new developments in this area (e.g. pro-resolution mediators, apoptosis, macrophage clearance of apoptotic cells, possible novel drug developments). The chapters are written by leading scientists in the field.

This topical volume is of interest to medical and scientific researchers in academia and industry working on inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases such as arthritis, asthma, bronchitis, atherosclerosis, and more.]]> free book city Mon, 07 Apr 2008 21:01:45 +0430 Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Current Controversies, from the Ovary to the Pancreas (2008) http://www.freebookcity.com/2008/04/06/polycystic-ovary-syndrome.html http://www.freebookcity.com/2008/04/06/polycystic-ovary-syndrome.html

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Current Controversies, from the Ovary to the Pancreas (2008)

Description: All four editors of this title are extremely prominent in the field of PCOS. Although they are all U.S.-based, they are internationally renowned. The book includes the latest diagnostic criteria for PCOS, and comprises the most up to date information about the genetic features and pathogenesis of PCOS. The diagnostic criteria for PCOS took shape in 1990 following an NIH conference co-organized by Dr. Dunaif, resulting in her classic volume, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (1992). That title recommended diagnostic criteria of hyperandrogenism and chronic anovulation with the exclusion of specific disorder of the ovary, adrenal, and pituitary. These criteria dominated the field but were revised in 2003 by a working group of international experts at a conference in Rotterdam. Since then, it has become increasingly clear over the past several years that PCOS is a complex genetic disease resulting from the interaction of susceptibility genes and environmental factors. This volume critically reviews the methodological approaches and the evidence for various PCOS susceptibility genes. Additional familial phenotypes of PCOS and their potential genetic basis are also discussed. In all, this title is comprehensive and replete with the latest in expert recommendations on PCOS. This expert opinion remains critical to guiding practice in PCOS because sufficient data for evidence-based guidelines remains scarce.
