Cardiovascular disease results from complications  of a silent and chronic arterial disease: atherosclerosis. The  challenge for the practitioner is adapting diagnostic and therapeutic  responses to prevent this common and complex disease. \u003cbr\u003e  Dyslipidemia, are disorders of the metabolism of soluble transporters  of lipids in extracellular spaces of the human body (including blood),  called lipoproteins. They are major cardiovascular risk factors,  causally related with atherosclerosis and are themselves  multifactorial diseases, resulting from interactions between genetic  and environmental factors. \u003cbr\u003e  The study of genetic factors has recently taken a new path with the  study of DNA as an experimental object. More than fifty genes of  lipoprotein metabolism have been identified in both their  physiological actions and their contribution to the pathogenesis of  human dyslipidemia. The diversity of observations has refined our  current knowledge of the control of lipid metabolism and energy  homeostasis in living organisms beyond the limits of the  cardiovascular system (e.g., brain, immune system, and development).  These studies have given way to a shake-up of former phenotypic  classifications, distinguishing new entities, defining targeted  therapeutic strategies, providing a basis for different patterns of  disease distribution in human populations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-09-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792373629\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-1517-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 315\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265498239116,"sku":"9780792373629","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792373629.jpg?v=1770780999","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792373629","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
