Lipids: Biochemistry, Biotechnology and Health
$135.00
Fats and lipids are essential components of the homeostatic function of the human body. Lipids contribute to some of the body’s most vital processes. Lipids are fatty, waxy, or oily compounds that are soluble in organic solvents and insoluble in polar solvents such as water. Lipids include Fats and oils (triglycerides); Phospholipids; Waxes; and Steroids. The book has been modified from Lipid Biochemistry to Lipids to acknowledge the coming together of biological and medical sciences, the increasingly blurred boundaries between them, and the growing importance of lipids in diverse aspects of science and technology. The principal aims of this new book- to inform students and researchers about lipids, to assist teachers, and encourage further research – have not changed since the previous editions.

Medical Parasitology And Health
$135.00
Diseases caused by many species of parasitic worms, blood flukes, tapeworms, hookworms, and others are still scourges of mankind. Insect parasites such as fleas and lice are, at best, annoyances to man, and as vectors of diseases like bubonic plague and typhus have been responsible for uncountable human mortality. Mosquitoes not only transmit malaria, but spread yellow fever, encephalitis, and other viral diseases, and are responsible for inoculating into humans several species of filarial worms that cause some of the most horrific diseases in the medical literature. Emerging diseases such as Lyme disease, transmitted by ticks are increasingly recognized as significant to human health. Medical parasitologists utilize many approaches to combating parasites. Among the areas of research are epidemiology, chemotherapy, immunology, and pathology.
