New Developments in Fatty Acid Oxidation

Reflects the rapid development of research in this area of intermediary metabolism. Comprehensive and up-to-date, it brings together recent clinical, biochemical and molecular advances in mitochondrial and peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation. Coverage includes novel enzymes, molecular control of fatty acid oxidation in both normal and disease states, treatment of inherited fatty acid oxidation defects and much more.
