Cellular Lipid Metabolism

Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors (PPARs) are transcription factors that belong to the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily. Nuclear receptors are one of the best described classes of regulatory factors that directly control gene expression. Humans and mice have 48 and 49 nuclear receptors, respectively, which modulate many functions such as reproduction, development, metabolism, and whole body homeostasis. They function as ligand-activated factors, and thus convert signalling by small molecules (hormones, vitamins, fatty acids), which control these processes, into appropriate gene responses.

This book systemically describes the mechanisms underlying the neural regulation of metabolism. Metabolic diseases, including obesity and its associated conditions, currently affect more than 500 million people worldwide. Recent research has shown that the neural regulation of metabolism is a central mechanism that controls metabolic status physiologically and pathophysiologically.

This textbook is a distillation of oauthor's experiences in teaching undergraduate and graduate students and is intended to provide such students with a thorough grounding in biochemistry.

Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry: An International Journal for Chemical Biology in Health and Disease publishes original research papers and short communications in all areas of the biochemical sciences, emphasizing novel findings relevant to the biochemical basis of cellular function and disease processes, as well as the mechanics of action of hormones and chemical agents.

The book will be very useful for students and beginners to gain insight into new area, as well as for experts and scientists to find new facts and expand their scientific horizons through biological sciences and biomedicine.
