Klappentext zu „The Opiate Receptors “
In 1988, Gavril W. Pasternak published the first edition of this seminal text. It was a lucidaccount of the latest knowledge on opiate receptors and related receptor subtypes, a
then controversial field, providing an integrated approach correlating the biochemical, physiological,
and pharmacological aspects of opiate reaction.
Fully revised and expanded, The Opiate Receptors, 2nd edition presents all the advances
made in the field in the past twenty years. It covers a wide variety of topics including,
but not limited to, the following: pharmacology of opioid drugs; endogenous opioids;
molecular biology of mu receptors; molecular biology of delta receptors; kappa opioid
receptor gene and the regulatory mechanisms of its protein expression; opioid receptor
signal transduction mechanisms; mu opioid receptor mediated analgesia and reward;
kappa opioid receptor function; delta opioid receptor function; genetics of opioid receptor
functions in mice; opioid receptor trafficking; opioid receptor dimerization; molecular
modulation of in vivo tolerance; and genetics of opioid actions.
Written by leading international researchers in the field, this new edition is as groundbreaking
and vital as its predecessor.

Rezension zu „The Opiate Receptors “
From the reviews of the second edition:"It is intended as a review and reference resource on topics of interest to scientists working in the opioid receptor field. ... would be most appropriate for midlevel graduate students and higher level researchers ... . The book offers a detailed overview and review of 14 different aspects of opioid receptor science ... . an excellent source for a graduate level course on opioid pharmacology, or would serve well as a current reference point on timely issues in this field of research." (Kenneth E. McCarson, Doody's Review Service, June, 2011)
"The major goal of this second edition of The Opiate Receptors is to provide insight into the molecular and classical pharmacology of opiates and opioid peptides and to translate this into pharmacological actions. Gavril Pasternak ... does a masterful job of bringing all of this together. ... This book will be a valuable resource for scientists working in the opiate field and for clinicians who are interested in the pharmacological actions of these agents." (Dwight Moulin, Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences, March, 2012)
