Calcium, Oxygen Radicals and Cellular Damage

Rapid cellular damage of specific organs is a feature of twentieth-century life: heart attacks, strokes, muscular dystrophy, the preservation of hearts and kidneys for transplantation. This volume describes the current theories concerning the underlying biochemical events during damage in a range of organs. The questions addressed, in particular, are whether there are any common biochemical pathways and the specific and possibly interacting roles of calcium and active oxygen metabolites.Duncan, C.
