Whole Organ Approaches to Cellular Metabolism

The understanding of physiological processes requires knowledge at different scales, ranging from physical chemistry to whole organisms. This book examines the remarkable diversity of metabolic processes involved in capillary permeation, cellular transport and reaction kinetics. It is unique in emphasizing the whole organ-level perspective of these cellular and sub-cellular phenomena. A lasting tribute to the work and enthusiasm of Carl Goresky, this title will be welcomed by physiologists, biophysicists and biomedical engineers, as well as biochemists and biophysical chemists.
