Description

A notable development in biological research is the recent widespread interest in the role played by calcium in cellular metabolism. Calcium homeostasis has been studied intensively for many years and mechanisms by which calcium absorption, excretion and bone deposition are effected and regulated are beginning to be understood in detail. Studies have shown an interesting and challenging parallel between the maintenance and regulation of intracellular and extracellular calcium. This volume presents the knowledge to date on intracellular calcium regulation and lays a solid foundation for subsequent studies on the relationship between intracellular and extracellular calcium economies of mammalia.
