Overview

This unique volume provides an integrated overview of the subject of monovalent cations, specifically aimed at students and researchers.

Part One

It is divided into two parts: the first deals with the processes by which monovalent cations are transported across biological membranes.

Part Two

The second deals with the processes that are affected by changes in intracellular cations.

Chapter Descriptions

Each chapter describes in simple biochemical terms the interaction between one or more monovalent cations and a particular biological system of importance to current understanding of body function in health and disease.

Intended Audience

This useful publication is invaluable to students and researchers in biochemistry, physiology, neurology, pharmacology, anesthesiology, cardio-pulmonology, hematology, laboratory medicine, endocrinology, gastroenterology, internal medicine, psychiatry, urology, biomedical physics and medical nutrition.
