Riassunto

In der Natur kommt eine überwältigende Vielzahl von Glykosiden vor, und zwar hauptsächlich in Pflanzen. Diese Verbindungen haben in letzter Zeit große Bedeutung gewonnen, weil sie aufgrund ihrer vielfältigen biologischen Aktivitäten zu therapeutischen, Ernährungs- und klinischen Zwecken eingesetzt werden können. Das Buch gibt eine Zusammenfassung über die wichtigen aktuellen Informationen zu chemischen, ernährungswissenschaftlichen, biologischen und medizinischen Aspekten natürlich vorkommender Glykoside sowie einiger Glykoproteine und Glykolipide. Behandelt werden u.a. chemische Strukturen, Vorkommen sowie biosynthetische und biologische Aktivität. (01/99)
