Features: "Advances in Pharmacology 2005" contains 31 articles, rich in content and wide in scope. It introduces many new concepts, methods, technologies, and fields, offering readers a fresh perspective. The sodium-potassium pump is a well-known mechanism for maintaining cardiac function and the target of cardiac glycosides. In addition to the sodium-potassium pump, several other pumps have gained attention in recent years and may serve as new targets for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. This book features two articles on the sodium-calcium exchanger and the sodium-hydrogen exchanger pump. In cardiovascular diseases, many classic or newly discovered substances or cellular components are closely related to the occurrence and development of these diseases. This book introduces some of them, with five articles separately discussing telomeres, leptin, brain natriuretic peptide, visceral adiponectin, and Sirtuins.
