"...excellent, well-organized, and timely." -Lester Packer and
Enrique Cardenas, University of Southern California, Los Angeles,
from the Series Preface The liver is a vital organ that is
responsible for a wide range of functions, most of which are
essential for survival. The multitude of functions the liver
performs makes it vulnerable to a wide range of diseases.
Mitochondrial dysfunction plays an important role in many liver
diseases including drug-induced liver injury, alcoholic liver
disease, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Mitochondria in
Liver Disease gathers the most current research regarding the role
of mitochondria in the liver and various diseases to which it is
susceptible. The book is separated into two sections, the first of
which highlights the latest developments in mitochondrial research.
It includes cutting-edge topics such as the regulation of
mitochondrial respiration using hydrogen sulfide and the regulation
of mitochondrial fusion-fission via the endoplasmic reticulum. The
second section reviews the most current research on the role of
mitochondria in a wide range of liver diseases. It also addresses
novel topics such as the importance of liver mitochondrial
constituents as biomarkers of liver injury in plasma and as
regulators of the immune system. Mitochondria in Liver Disease
represents the current state of knowledge and research on
mitochondrial roles in liver diseases. Written by a group of global
experts, it provides an authoritative and comprehensive overview of
the latest advances and methods that mark key starting points for
future research.
