Description:

"Oxygen Sensing examines O[subscript 2] sensing systems in bacteria and Archaea ... demonstrates interrelationships among cell proliferation, energy metabolism, oxygen homeostasis, redox states, signal transduction, and gene expression in humans and other organisms ... details the role of excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters in sensory signaling ... describes the effect of hypoxia on carotid body structure and function ... and considers the effect of alterations in oxygen homeostasis on the pathophysiology of cardiac ischemia, cancer, stroke, and chronic lung disease."--BOOK JACKET.
