Bioelectrochemistry of Cells and TissuesDieter Walz, Hermann Berg, Giulio Milazzo Birkhäuser Verlag, 1995 - 301 pagine Discusses selected topics relating to the role of electric and magnetic fields in biological systems. Among them are electric organs, the use of electric fields by some fish species either as weapons or for location and communication, signal transduction as exemplified by excitation-contraction coupling in muscles and light transduction in photoreceptors, electrical potential differences in energy metabolism and its control, the dielectric properties of cells and their responses to electric fields, and the controversial effects of magnetic fields on living systems and of low-frequency electromagnetic fields on cell metabolism. Signal processing in the nervous system is not covered. For graduates and researchers in bioelectrochemistry. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR |
