Pathophysiological and Biochemical Analyses of "Life-Style Related or Intractable Diseases" Target Validation for Drug Therapy 2006

This book provides review articles derived from an open research program hosted at Kyoto Pharmaceutical University started in 2004 relating to life-style related or intractable diseases. The book offers an excellent opportunity to better understand the biological events of diseases such as Alzheimer dementia, Parkinsonism, diabetes, ischemic heart disease, allergic asthma, and ulcerative colitis, and other aspects of drug development such as drug-induced adverse reaction and genotoxicity, mechanisms of antibiotic resistance and pathogenicity, as well as strategies for improving intestinal absorption of drugs.
