Due to this complexity, functional integrity of membranes represents a potential target for many toxic agents. In a single volume, this leading edge book addresses all aspects of biological membranes and their responses to toxicants. It summarizes the present understanding of the role of membranes in cell function and of the influence of toxic agents on that role. The book also covers the historical background and critically evaluates some of the experimental preparations and techniques commonly applied to the field. |
