This book provides valuable information for investigators interested in the signaling and regulatory functions of adenosine and the adenine nucleotides. Topics covered in this comprehensive volume include the historical development of research on adenosine and adenosine triphosphate; various aspects of the formation, metabolism, release, transport, and receptors for endogenous adenosine and the adenosine triphosphate; functions of purines at the cellular level; the role of adenosine in the regulation of flow in different vascular beds; and angiogenesis. The book also addresses the purinergic regulation of the cardiac, renal, gastro-intestinal, and central nervous system, as well as potential therapeutic avenues for purine use. The book will be valuable to physiologists, pharmacologists, and other basic and clinical scientists interested in updating their knowledge of the expanding biological roles of these substances.
El rbol de Adelina es un libro de cuentos cuyos personajes son mujeres que, a pesar de vivir en su cotidianidad, se atreven a so ar desde el s tano de sus sus aspiraciones m s sublimes, de sus ansias de libertad, desde sus perversiones. No son ngeles como tampoco demonios, son simplemente mujeres que les toc vivir en un mundo dise ado por los hombres. Los cuentos que integran el libro, son de varias tem ticas y diferentes tratamientos, pero hay una que es permanente: la introspecci n. Abordar entidades ajenas siempre ser un misterio. M s, trat ndose de personajes mujeres, creados por un hombre. El grado de dificultad de estos cuentos fue un reto que asumo como un riesgo de no lograr el objetivo. Sin embargo, la tentaci n por explorar personajes cuya naturaleza de pensar y de ser que obedecen a un horizonte completamente distinto al m o, es mayor al de equivocarme. Parad jicamente, el nico cuento que no es visto desde un punto de vista de una mujer es El rbol de Adelina. Este libro de cuentos, se lo dedico a aquellas mujeres que han compartido este viaje conmigo, en las distintas facetas de mi vida.
