Synopsis

This book examines the effects of acute and chronic exercise on the metabolism of cyclic AMP and protein kinase in cardiac and skeletal muscle. Written by four of the world leaders in this emerging area of exercise biochemistry, Exercise and Intracellular Regulation of Cardiac and Skeletal Muscle also presents information gained during more than 20 years of work in the Soviet Union.

Michael Kalinski directed groundbreaking work at the Kiev State Institute of Physical Culture and the Kiev Research Institute of Biochemistry, two institutes known for establishing new frontiers in exercise biochemistry. In this book, he shares the results of his studies there in the areas of hormonal and intracellular regulation of metabolism.

The book is divided into three parts. Part I provides a comprehensive review of the role of phosphorylation in the functional regulation of cardiac and skeletal muscle. Part II presents new information describing the effects of exercise on cAMP and cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Part III summarizes this information.

This monograph is an excellent reference for exercise biochemists and exercise physiologists. "Non-exercise" biochemists and physiologists who want to fully understand cardiac and skeletal muscle physiology and biochemistry will also find this to be a helpful source.

Exercise and Intracellular Regulation of Cardiac and Skeletal Muscle is the seventh volume in the HK Sport Science Monograph Series.

About this title

Review

"The authors have made an enormous contribution to the scientific literature in exercise biochemistry by effectively integrating the findings of researchers from Eastern Europe with those of scientists in Western countries."
Russell R. Pate, PhD
Chairman, Department of Exercise Science, University of South Carolina

Well written, concise, and clear. . .a very nice summary of what is scientifically known regarding intracellular regulation of muscle tissue. This work is unique because it brings together within one cover a summary of the basics of phosphorylation in muscle as well as the role played by cAMP in exercise and the effects of training on the cAMP system. Further uniqueness is derived through rendering available quality research on the topic from Eastern and Central European nations. Such work has been, until recently, unavailable to most Western scientists. Accurate documentation and the extensive bibliography contribute much to this monograph."
