Beskrivning

Peroxisomes - or microbodies - are organelles present in nearly all cells. Interest stems not only from their various biological and cell physiological roles but also because several genetic diseases are known with deficient peroxisomal functions. In response to several drugs or pesticides, peroxisomes start to proliferate. Due to this property they may also be used as toxicological indicators. Designed for use at the lab bench, this manual is ideal for everyone involved in peroxisome research or concerned with hepatotoxicity testing of new compounds.
