Mitochondrial Dysfunction Caused by Drugs and Environmental Toxicants

Developed as a one-stop reference source for drug safety and toxicology professionals, this book explains why mitochondrial failure is a crucial step in drug toxicity and how it can be avoided.
•    Covers both basic science and applied technology / methods
•    Allows readers to understand the basis of mitochondrial function, the preclinical assessments used, and what they reveal about drug effects
•    Contains both in vitro and in vivo methods for analysis, including practical screening approaches for drug discovery and development
•    Adds coverage about mitochondrial toxicity underlying organ injury, clinical reports on drug classes, and discussion of environmental toxicants affecting mitochondria
