    • Glycolysis

      Tissue-Specific Metabolic Regulation in Physio-pathological Conditions
      • 1st Edition
      • Rita Ferreira + 2 more
      • English
      Glycolysis: Tissue-Specific Metabolic Regulation in Physio-Pathological Conditions provides an integrated overview of glycolysis, spanning basic biochemistry, patho-physiology and therapeutic applications. The book also instructs in methods available to study the involvement of the glycolytic events in healthy biology and disease pathology. It begins with an overview of fundamental glycobiology followed by chapters dedicated to glycolysis physiology in organs and systems, pathologic conditions related to glycolytic alterations, glycolysis as a therapeutic target and in drug discovery efforts, and methodological approaches to advance new glycolysis research. Disease areas considered range from cancer to heart failure, diabetes, inborn glycolytic pathway defects, hematologic malignancies, osteoporosis, neurodegenerative diseases and viral Infections. Omics and computational modeling, interactive study methods, and glycolysis flux measurement are described in detail, with step-by-step descriptions of experimental protocols, set-up and analysis.

    • Carbohydrate Metabolism

      Comprehensive Biochemistry
      • 1st Edition
      • Volume 17
      • Marcel Florkin + 1 more
      • English
      Comprehensive Biochemistry, Volume 17: Carbohydrate Metabolism focuses on the processes, reactions, and transformations involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, including glycosaminoglycans, enzymes, oxidation, and glycolysis. The selection first elaborates on functional organization contributing to carbohydrate economy and control of synthesis and breakdown of glycogen, starch, and cellulose. Discussions focus on breakdown of glycogen in mammalian systems, role of glycogen in the regulation of glycogen metabolism, glycogen and starch metabolism in bacteria and plants, carbohydrate digestion, and integration of digestion and absorption. The book also ponders on regulation and mechanisms of enzymes and hexose-monophosphate oxidation, including functions and regulation of pentose-phosphate cycle glucose transport and role of subsequent steps in regulating the rate of glycolysis. The book takes a look at the metabolism of glycosaminoglycans, aldonic and uronic acids, and carbohydrate and oxidative metabolism in neural systems. Concerns include control of carbohydrate metabolism, adaptive changes in relation to carbohydrate metabolism, uronic and aldonic acid metabolism in plants and microorganisms, and mechanism of alternation of monosaccharide units. The selection is a vital source of data for researchers interested in carbohydrate metabolism.

    • Chemistry of the Carbohydrates

      • 1st Edition
      • Tanveer Syeda-Mahmood
      • English
      Chemistry of the Carbohydrates focuses on the compositions, chemical reactions, structures, and characteristics of carbohydrates. The monograph first traces the development of carbohydrate chemistry, and then gives emphasis to general chemistry, nomenclature, and definitions. The book discusses the occurrences, properties, structures, and stereochemistry of monosaccharides. Structures of glucose and fructose; stereochemistry; ring structure of sugars; the sugars found in solutions; and synthetic sugars are considered. The monograph also looks at the properties, structures, and stereochemistry of esters, glycosides, full acetals, and thioacetals. The book proceeds with discussions on polyols, inositols, and compounds. Isomerization and representation of configurations; proofs of structure and configuration; and biochemistry are discussed. The monograph closes with the discussions on acids, oligosaccharides, glycosides, starches, and polysaccharides. The compositions, structures, and chemical reactions of these substances are noted. The book can best serve the interest of readers, research workers, and graduate students who want to explore the compositions, properties, and chemical reactions of carbohydrates.
