Integrated Physiology

This series is dedicated to the functions of the body at multiple levels including molecular, cellular, organ, and systems. Understanding the processes that occur at each level (as well as homeostasis, integration, and pathophysiology) is necessary to understand function in health…and dysfunction in disease. Each state-of-the-art title is written by leading experts in their fields and are published as “stand-alone” books. The series is edited by D. Neil Granger, PhD (LSU Health Sciences Center) and Joey P. Granger, PhD (University of Mississippi Medical Center).

	Neural Control of Renal Function, 2nd Edition Ulla C. Kopp The neural control of the kidney is one of the important mechanisms contributing to the physiological control of renal function. The kidney is densely innervated by sympathetic nerves. Increases in renal sympathetic nerve activity decrease renal bloo… Publication Date: July, 2018 Read More
	Neural Control of Blood Pressure and Body Temperature During Heat Stress Zachary J. Schlader, Nisha Charkoudian Environmental heat stress is associated with a marked decrease in orthostatic tolerance (OT), which is defined as the ability to stand or sit upright without symptoms of dizziness, lightheadedness, presyncope, or fainting. In most healthy humans, the… Publication Date: July, 2018 Read More

	Lateral Hypothalamic Control of Energy Balance Gizem Kurt, Hillary L. Woodworth, Gina M. Leinninger Food and water are necessary for survival, but can only be obtained via ingestive behaviors (feeding, drinking, and moving). Survival thus depends on the ability of the brain to coordinate the need for water and energy with appropriate behaviors to m… Publication Date: December, 2017 Read More
	Pathophysiology of Pulmonary Hypertension Yuansheng Gao, J. Usha Raj Pulmonary hypertension is a life-threatening disease with no known cure. Here we provide a concise yet comprehensive review of the current knowledge about the pathophysiology of pulmonary hypertension (PH). The underlying signaling mechanisms involve… Publication Date: November, 2017 Read More
	Endothelial Luminal Membrane-Glycocalyx Rafael Rubio, Maureen Knabb This book focuses on the structural, biochemical, and diverse functional properties of the endothelial luminal membrane glycocalyx (ELMG), an organelle which constitutes the endothelial cell “membrane.” It is intended to provide the newcomer with a b… Publication Date: November, 2017 Read More
	Sepsis: Staging and Potential Future Therapies Christian Lehmann, Juan Zhou, Charles C. Caldwell Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Variability in pathogenesis and complex pathophysiology often delay diagnosis and create significant challenges for clinical studies in this group of … Publication Date: September, 2017 Read More
	Vascular Biology of the Placenta, 2nd Edition Yuping Wang The placenta is an organ that connects the developing fetus to the uterine wall, thereby allowing nutrient uptake, waste elimination, and gas exchange via the mother’s blood supply. Proper vascular development in the placenta is fundamental to ensuri… Publication Date: June, 2017 Read More
	The Endocannabinoid System in Local and Systemic Inflammation Melanie E.M. Kelly, Christian Lehmann, Juan Zhou This book focuses on the role of the endocannabinoid system in local and systemic inflammation, with individual chapters written by experts in the field of cannabinoid research and medicine. The topics explore the actions of the endocannabinoid syste… Publication Date: March, 2017 Read More
	Polycystic Kidney Disease Cristian Riella, Peter G. Czarnecki, Theodore I.

	The Blood-Brain Barrier in Health and Disease William G. Mayhan, Denise M. Arrick The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a complex and dynamic structure that protects the brain from cells within the vasculature, from the immune system and from pathogens. This barrier is present in arterioles, capillaries and venules and is formed at the… Publication Date: December, 2016 Read More
	The Biliary System, 2nd Edition David Q.-H. Wang, Brent A. Neuschwander-Tetri, Piero Portincasa The biliary system is a complex network of microscopic and macroscopic structures involved in the formation of bile, an aqueous fluid in which a considerable amount of otherwise immiscible cholesterol is transported by other lipids such as bile acids… Publication Date: December, 2016 Read More
	Cardiovascular Responses to Exercise, Second Edition Lusha Xiang, Robert L. Hester Exercise is the act of increasing metabolic rate for the purpose of enhancing physical fitness. Exercise can be one of the most stressful physiological responses that the body undertakes. With exercise, there are increases in metabolic rate, heart ra… Publication Date: December, 2016 Read More
	Regulation of Gastrointestinal Mucosal Growth, Second Edition Rao N. Jaladanki, Jian-Ying Wang The mammalian gastrointestinal mucosa is a rapidly self-renewing tissue in the body, and its homeostasis is preserved through the strict regulation of epithelial cell proliferation, growth arrest, and apoptosis. The control of the growth of gastroint… Publication Date: November, 2016 Read More
