Cell Chemistry and Physiology: Part IIIAuthor(s): Edward Bittar\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Elsevier Science & Technology, United Kingdom\nImprint: JAI Press Inc.\nISBN-13: 9781559388078, 978-1559388078\nSynopsis\nThe first section of this volume consists of five chapters to the nature of membrane transport systems. A chapter on secondary active glucose transport has been omitted because this topic is slated to appear in the Nephrobiology module. Chapter 6 deals with oxidase control of plasma membrane proton transport, while chapter 7 addresses the question of how cell volume is regulated. Although we chose not to have a separate chapter covering additional co-transport systems namely, Na+ -K+ -2CI-, KCI, -HCO-3, as well as CI- -HCO-3 exchange and K+ and CI- movements through channels, the role of each in cell volume regulation is emphasized in Chapter 7. Instead of devoting an entire section to the thermodynamics of metabolism, we thought it desirable to have the subjects of .
