This collection of presentations from the Ciba Foundation Symposium of 1985 deals with the central role of calcium in intracellular processes. Discusses control of intracellular calcium as well as control by intracellular calcium, covering such topics as muscle contraction, metabolic processes, hormone and transmitter secretion, membrane transport and permeability, cellular architecture and growth, and the possible contribution of calcium gradients to early embryonic development. Includes carefully edited and extensive (almost half the book) discussions of chapter topics between active workers in the field at the end of each chapter.

The articles in these volumes (see following entry) are reviews of recent developments written by Soviet experts, most of them in Russian, and translated by the publisher. Volume two (in two parts) is Regulation of myocardial contractile function and metabolism. Part A (nine articles) is Physiology and biochemistry of the myocardium; Part B (eight articles), Metabolism of ischemic myocardium. The big money paid for these volumes does not buy high quality book production--they're printed from double-spaced typescript. Topics covered in Part A include: the mechanisms of calcium regulation, the energy supply of myocardial contractile activity, the role of sarcolemma in the reception of biologically active substances, myofibril proteins, subthreshold myocardial activity, and the effects on cardiac function of glucocortoids, catecholamines, and cyclic nucleotides. In Part B: morphological and structural changes in ischemic myocardium, immune and ischemic injury to the myocardium, the protection of ischemic myocardium with amino acids, clinical trials of new drugs.
