Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy -  also sometimes termed Electron Spin Resonance spectroscopy -  has manifold potential uses in biochemistry and medicine. The  paramount importance of EPR spectroscopy applied to biological tissues  and fluids is that it identifies the changes in redox processes that  contribute to disease.   EPR spectroscopy has come a long way from its original use to detect  malignant tumors. For example, the development and later refinement of  methods of low-temperature registration of biological tissues widened  the scope of EPR spectroscopy. Innovations made possible by the  introduction of spin labels, probes, and traps made EPR spectroscopy  ever more applicable to biochemistry and medicine, to the point where  in vivo studies are being carefully considered.   This comprehensive book discusses spectra of many tissues and bodily  fluids, and the quantitative nature of paramagnetic centers in both  normal individuals and patients suffering from a variety of diseases.  Special attention is given to the EPR examination of bio-molecules,  such as enzymes, polypeptides, vitamins, lipids, hydrocarbons, etc.,  which play an essential role in human activity.   This book will be of great interest to physicians specializing in many  different areas. Similarly, biologists, biochemists, biophysicists,  and chemists will find this book very useful. It has also been written  so that it may be used as a textbook at graduate level.
