Glycolysis

Glycolysis: Tissue-Specific Metabolic Regulation in Physio-Pathological Conditions provides an integrated overview of glycolysis, spanning basic biochemistry, patho-physiology, and therapeutic applications. It also instructs in methods available to study the involvement of the glycolytic events in healthy biology and disease pathology. The book begins with an overview of fundamental glycobiology, followed by chapters dedicated to glycolysis physiology in organs and systems, pathologic conditions related to glycolytic alterations, glycolysis as a therapeutic target and in drug discovery efforts, and methodological approaches to advance new glycolysis research. Disease areas considered range from cancer to heart failure, diabetes, inborn glycolytic pathway defects, hematologic malignancies, osteoporosis, neurodegenerative diseases, and viral Infections. Omics and computational modeling, interactive study methods, and glycolysis flux measurement are described in detail, with step-by-step descriptions of experimental protocols, set-up, and analysis. Features chapter contributions from international leaders in the field Spans fundamental aspects of glycolysis, patho-physiology, and drug discovery Includes step-by-step instruction in a range of research protocols, ranging from Omics to interactive analysis and measuring glycolysis flux
