Product Description
This book addresses the subject of the biology of the endothelin peptides in the lung, with particular reference to the respiratory tract and the possible mediator roles of these peptides in lung disease. The book provides an up-to-date analysis of the current literature concerning the actions of the endothelins in the lung. Specific chapters are devoted to our current understanding of endothelin synthesis, receptor subtype activation, distribution and density in the airways, its actions in vascular and airway smooth muscle and nerves and its role in tissue development, differentiation and disease.
This volume will be of interest to both nonclinical and clinical researchers in pulmonary biology, as well as to teachers in academic disciplines targetting aspects of lung function and disease.
