Regulation mechanisms of enzymes in ontogenesis. Mekhanizmy regulyatsii fermentov v ontogeneze

An examination is made of the basic principles underlying the regulation of enzyme activity in tissues, its changes in connection with metabolic characteristics at various periods of ontogenesis as well as contemporary concepts on the mechanisms of age changes in enzyme activity. Considerable attention is given to features of enzyme induction and adaptation with respect to the organism's age. The book is intended for biochemists, physiologists, biologists, and specialists in medicine and animal husbandary engaged in problems of ontogenesis, gerontology, geriatrics, and enzyme regulation. 475 references, 39 figures, 15 tables.
