Adenosine and Adenine Nucleotides From Molecular Biology to Integrative Physiology

Adenosine and Adenine Nucleotides

Adenosine and Adenine Nucleotides: From Molecular Biology to Integrative Physiology, edited by Luiz Belardinelli and A. Pelleg, presents research on the molecular, cellular, physiological, and clinical roles of adenosine and adenine nucleotides. Based on contributions from an international symposium, the book explores advances in purine research and connects fundamental biological mechanisms with medical applications. It examines the relevance of adenosine in cardiovascular function, the management of supraventricular tachyarrhythmias, cardiac imaging, and the detection of ischemic heart disease. This reference is valuable for researchers and professionals in biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology, and cardiovascular medicine.
