Chemical warfare is becoming a major force due to the fact that these agents can provide a substantial psychological edge to the military establishments. It covers topics of current interest like pharmacology of Nitric Oxide, Oxidative Stress, modulation of brain cytochrome p450s by environmental chemicals, modalities of Nociception and the underlying molecular mechanisms including areas of pharmacology and toxicological interest never discussed in detail like capsaicin, cyanide, arsenic toxicity and cyanobacterial toxin etc.
A number of antidotes, which are being used, or currently being investigated for the treatments of above toxicants also discussed in this book.
This volume with contributions from leading experts from USA, Germany and India is a valuable source of information on many areas of pharmacology and toxicological significance for Military personnel, scientific professionals in pharmacology, toxicology, biochemistry and environmental sciences.
