Content
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the development of metabolic syndrome, the underlying mechanisms and therapeutic strategies for drug development. The authors examine the context of underlying molecular pathways and integrated physiology, then expanding the discussion to diseases associated with metabolic syndrome. The development of drug therapies for these diseases and complications is extensively covered. The book offers a comprehensive and in-depth view of energy metabolism, metabolic tissues and pathways, molecular mechanism-based drug discovery and clinical implications. CONTENTS Introduction (Minghan Wang). Part I. The physiology of metabolic tissues under normal and disease states.

Chapter 6: Energy metabolism in skeletal muscle and its link to insulin resistance (Minghan Wang). Part II. Metabolic diseases and current therapies. Chapter 7: Mechanisms and complications of metabolic syndrome (Minghan Wang). Chapter 8: Emerging therapeutic approaches for dyslipidemia associated with high LDL and low HDL (Margrit Schwarz and Jae B. Kim). Chapter 9: Mechanism of action of niacin: implications for atherosclerosis and drug discovery (Devan Marar, Shobha H. Ganji, Vaijinath S. Kamanna, and Moti L. Kashyap).

Chapter 11: GLP-1 biology, signaling mechanisms, physiology, and clinical studies (Remy Burcelin, Cendrine Cabou1, Christophe Magnan, and Pierre Gourdy). Chapter 12: Dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors for treatment of diabetes (McIntosh, CHS, Kim, S-J., Pederson, RA, Heiser, U, and Demuth, H-U). Chapter 13: Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (Margaret Ryan and Serge A. Jabbour). Chapter 14: Fibroblast growth factor 21 as a novel metabolic regulator (Radmila Micanovic, James D. Dunbar, and Alexei Kharitonenkov). Chapter 15: Sirtuins as potential drug targets for metabolic diseases (Qiang Tong). Chapter 16: 11?-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 as a therapeutic target for type 2 diabetes (Clarence Hale and David J. St. Jean, Jr.). Chapter 17: Monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of type 2 diabetes: A case study with glucagon receptor blockade (Hai Yan, Wei Gu, and Murielle Veniant-Ellison). Part IV.

Book condition
An important factor of a second-hand book is the condition of the book. The buyer may not be surprised. Always mention damages or defects. We use a system with 3 stars:
The book is acceptable: you have used it to study and made notes and markings – but everything is still readable. The cover and pages are in good condition.
The book still looks good: there are a few notes in it and you marked it. There are hardly any signs of use on the cover and pages.
The book is (almost) new: you have not written or marked in it. There are no signs of use on the cover and pages.
