Sommario/riassunto

En diciembre de 1977, cuatro mujeres mineras se declararon en huelga de hambre exigiendo al gobierno del general Banzer la amnistía general para los perseguidos políticos.  Tres semanas después, alrededor de 1200 huelguistas se habían sumado al movimiento y crecían las huelgas mineras y fabriles, las manifestaciones de apoyo, la participación de la Iglesia. Finalmente, el gobierno tuvo que decretar la amnistía exigida: los exiliados podían retornar al país, los prisioneros políticos fueron liberados, los mineros injustamente despedidos podían volver a sus fuentes de trabajo.  La dictadura minada intenta explicar el surgimiento, desarrollo y excepcional desenlace de la resistencia impulsada por las cuatro mujeres mineras. Fue excepcional por la respuesta nacional que motivó y por los resultados que obtuvo: logró minar la férrea dictadura instalada en el país desde 1971.  Este libro no sólo es un aporte a la historiografía boliviana sobre ese acontecimiento, sino también contribuye a comprender el papel de las resistencias civiles en los procesos de retorno a la democracia en América Latina.

Sommario/riassunto

This book discusses the many advances in the understanding of the functions and implications of activation and detoxification enzymes. This organized, concise overview will meet the needs of those who are initially exposed to this important subject, particularly for students and



researchers in the areas of biomedical sciences, biochemistry, nutrition, pharmacology, and chemistry. The book will also be valuable to advanced researchers. The book discusses subjects associated with foreign-compound-metabolizing enzymes with emphasis on biochemical aspects, including lipophilic foreign compounds, activation and detoxification enzymes, metabolic enzyme catalytic properties, reactive metabolic intermediates, biomedical and biochemical effects, genetic polymorphisms, enzyme inducibility, enzyme modulation for health benefits, dietary-related enzyme modulators, and structural characteristics of enzyme inducers. This new edition is updated throughout and features completely new chapters on Oxidative and Electrophilic Stresses, Metabolite- Mediated Disease Conditions, and Defense Mechanism: Nrf2-ARE Pathway. .
