The Renin Angiotensin System in Cancer, Lung, Liver and Infectious Diseases (Advances in Biochemistry in Health and Disease Book 25)

Explore cutting-edge research with this essential addition to the “Advances in Biochemistry in Health and Disease” series. This comprehensive volume offers a deep dive into the complexities of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) across 24 insightful chapters, expertly categorized into three pivotal sections:

• General Implications of RAS in human health and infectious diseases
• Lung, Liver, and Kidney Diseases
• Development of Cancer

Each chapter delivers a thorough exploration of the molecular and cellular aspects of RAS, highlighting its role in the pathophysiology and pharmacotherapy of various disease processes. Discover the biochemical mechanisms associated with angiotensin II type 1 and type II receptors, and angiotensin (1-7) MAS receptors, and understand how prolonged activation of RAS can lead to both harmful and beneficial effects.

Notably, the chapters are authored by renowned global experts in inflammation, oxidative stress, and signal transduction pathways, offering invaluable insights into the role of RAS in different diseases. This book is a vital resource for biomedical investigators, health professionals, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows worldwide.

Whether you’re engaged in medical research or seeking to expand your understanding of biochemical health implications, this book promises to be of significant interest and value.
