The reviews in this collection are unique in their intent to provide a basis for understanding of the subject. They include historical, descriptive, and comparative information which is not always presented in state of the science reviews. Cholesterol is viewed in each chapter as part of a system structural, kinetic, or metabolic. The complex nature of the place of cholesterol in living systems is illustrated in each chapter.

The Biology of Cholesterol and Related Steroids focuses on the study of sterols in relation to living organisms. The publication first takes a look at the analysis of sterols and related steroids and the distribution of sterols and related steroids in nature, as well as the processes of extraction and separation and presence of sterols in plants, fungi, vertebrates, and invertebrates. The text then ponders on biosynthesis of sterols and metabolism of cholesterol. Topics include formation of fatty acid esters of cholesterol, steroid hormones, biosynthetic pathway to sterols, reaction mechanisms, and comparative aspects of sterol synthesis. The manuscript examines the developmental aspects of cholesterol metabolism and sterols in biological membranes. The book also reviews cholesterol synthesis in animal tissues, sterol metabolism in isolated cells, and epidemiology of the plasma cholesterol. Discussions focus on selection of statistical populations, genetic influences, regulation of sterol synthesis, general aspects of sterol metabolism, and removal of cell cholesterol in vivo. The publication is a dependable source of data for biochemists and readers interested in the biology of cholesterol and steroids.

Advances in Insect Physiology publishes eclectic volumes containing important, comprehensive and in-depth reviews on all aspects of insect physiology. It is an essential reference source for invertebrate physiologists and neurobiologists, entomologists, zoologists and insect biochemists. First published in 1963, the serial is now edited by Steve Simpson (Oxford University, UK). In 2002, the Institute for Scientific Information released figures showing that Advances in Insect Physiology has an Impact Factor of 3, placing it 2nd in the highly competitive category of Entomology. Volume 31 contains four timely reviews, including an important contribution on insect neurobiology. - Ranked 2nd in ISI's Entomology list with an Impact Factor of 3 - Serial includes over 40 Years of Coverage -- in print since 1963! - Consistently features reviews by internationally acclaimed entomologists

Ecdysone: From Metabolism to Regulation of Gene Expression presents papers from the Seventh Ecdysone Workshop held in Edinburgh, UK from March 31 to April 3, 1985. The book discusses the biosynthesis, distribution, and metabolism of ecdysteroids; the ecdysteroid action and hormone receptors; and the ecdysone inducible genes. The text also describes hormones and oogenesis; the interactions with other hormones, studies on other hormones, and practical applications of ecdysteroid studies.

Current Topics in Cellular Regulation, Volume 2 presents the fundamental mechanisms involved in the regulation of diverse cellular activities, including cellular differentiation, intermediary metabolism, and the transfer of genetic information. This book provides information pertinent to the various aspects of cellular regulation. Organized into eight chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the occurrence of the enzyme in plants and microorganisms. This text then examines the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids and vitamins, which is proving an interesting model system for the study of regulation. Other chapters consider the control of cholesterol biosynthesis in normal tissues, with emphasis on the pathologic implications of derangements of cholesterol feedback control. This book discusses as well the aspects of the biogenesis of yeast mitochondria. The final chapter deals with regulation in the pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway at the level of enzyme activity. This book is a valuable resource for biochemists, biologists, and research workers.
