Is it  possible to use positron tomography to measure some of them, and what  is their meaning in normal and pathological situations? These  questions have been addressed for a long time and no satisfactory  answer has yet been given.\u003cbr\u003e  This book, which derives from an EEC workshop organized in the frame  of the Concerted Action on `PET Investigation of Cellular Regeneration  and Degeneration', held in Lyon in February 1992, gives the present  state of knowledge in this field based on the most recent studies.  Contributions from 24 leading European and American scientists are  presented and discussed in the following four parts:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003ebiochemistry and animal studies; \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eamino acids labelling  with positron emittors, quality control and metabolites measurement;  \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003ekinetic modelling of amino acids transport, metabolism, and  protein incorporation; \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eclinical use of amino acids. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  This book will aid and interest biochemists, radiochemists,  pharmacologists, neurologists, oncologists and medical imaging  scientists.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401047067\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-1620-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 270\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398574764172,"sku":"9789401047067","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401047067.jpg?v=1755437916","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401047067","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
