Book description
This volume presents a unique comparative treatment of the role
oxidative stress plays in vertebrates and invertebrates in multiple
organ systems with regards to cell death, development, aging, and human
diseases, and anti-oxidant therapy. It offers comprehensive reviews of
the current understanding of oxidative stress-mediated physiology and
pathology as well as directions for future research. It also provides
current information on the role of oxidative stress in neurodegenerative
diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and various types of cancer mediated
by oxidative stress.
TAHIRA FAROOQUI
has published extensively on drug receptor interactions, biogenic
amines in vertebrate and invertebrate nervous systems,
glycerophospholipid and sphingolipid metabolism, and molecular
mechanisms in the brain, as well as on the neuromodulatory role of
octopamine in the reinforcement pathway involved in olfactory learning
and memory.
AKHLAQ A. FAROOQUI is a leader in the fields of signal
transduction, brain phospholipase A2, bioactive ether lipid
metabolism, and polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolism, among others.
Farooqui has published on the generation and identification of
glycerophospholipid-, sphingolipid-, and cholesterol-derived lipid
mediators in kainic acid-mediated neurotoxicity by lipidomics.
