Nutraceuticals: A New Millennium Approach for Preventive Medicine (Food Bioactive Ingredients)
by Seid Mahdi Jafari Saurabh Kumar Jha Vineet Kumar GoswamiNutraceuticals are defined as any food bioactive compounds or supplements which provide health and medicinal benefits, usually in the prevention of disease and sometimes playing a role in their treatment as well. Nutraceuticals are a combination of a variety of nutrients ranging from vitamins and minerals to certain amino acids. Nutrients are an essential part of the diet and serve a variety of roles in human physiology through various enzymes which govern biocatalysis in various metabolic pathways including tissue and DNA repair and body defense and immunity. Nutrients that are routinely prescribed as dietary supplements include multivitamins, minerals and certain specific amino acids. Nutraceuticals not only serve a pivotal role in tissue repair and body defense mechanism but also play a crucial role in various signal transduction and metabolic pathways. The deficiency of any crucial nutrient can negatively affect metabolic and transduction pathways which can lead toa variety of diseases and disorders. The preventive use of nutraceuticals is a promising new trend for a variety of diseases and disorders. Nutraceuticals: A New Millennium Approach for Preventive Medicine focuses on the preventive use of nutraceuticals to avoid various diseases and disorders. The chapters cover nutrients and human physiology, metabolism and xenobiotics, plus their use in the prevention and treatment of a wide range of diseases and disorders from cancer to cardiovascular disorders to diabetes and renal diseases. Further chapters study the role nutraceuticals play in the treatment of depression and mental illnesses, neurogenerative diseases and autoimmune diseases. The relationship between nutrients and suboptimal health is explored as are links between nutrition and infertility. As these food supplements continue to gain in popularity with consumers, it is increasingly important to understand their benefits and limitations in the prevention and treatment of various diseases and disorders, and this book offers a fully up-to-date snapshot for researchers.

Nutrient Power
by William J. WalshPsychiatry has made great advances in the past fifty years but needs a new direction. Today's emphasis on psychiatric drugs will not stand the test of time. Recent advances in epigenetics and the molecular biology of the brain have provided a roadmap for the development of effective, natural, drug-free therapies that do not produce serious side effects. Psychiatric medications have served society well over the last fifty years, but the need for drug therapies will fade away as science advances. Nutrient Power presents a science-based nutrient therapy system that can help millions of people diagnosed with mental disorders. This approach recognizes that nutrient imbalances can alter brain levels of key neurotransmitters, disrupt gene expression of proteins and enzymes, and cripple the body's protection against environmental toxins. The author's database containing millions of chemical factors in blood, urine, and tissues has identified brain-changing nutrient imbalances in patients diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism, behavior disorders, depression, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disease. This book describes individualized nutrient therapy treatments that have produced thousands of reports of recovery. Walsh's approach is more scientific than the trial-and-error use of psychiatric drugs and is aimed at a true normalization of the brain. Depression, schizophrenia, and ADHD are umbrella terms that encompass disorders with widely differing brain chemistries and symptoms. Nutrient Power describes nutrient therapies tailored to specific types. Other book highlights include the Walsh Theory of Schizophrenia, a new way to look at autism, a promising new treatment for Alzheimer's, and recommendations for reducing crime and violence.

This book defines recent advances in understanding the nutritional deficiencies found in AIDS and HIV-positive patients. It explores the scientific knowledge of how nutritional and dietary changes and herbal medicines can benefit or potentially harm these patients. The text also discusses the negative effects of undernutrition that can lead to starvation, a potent immunosuppressant. Nutrients and Foods in AIDS is a much-needed scientific appraisal of current alternative strategies used in preventing or treating AIDS and its symptoms for improved quality of life.
Nutrients and Oxidative Stress: Biochemistry Aspects and Pharmacological Insights (SpringerBriefs in Food, Health, and Nutrition)
by Bee Ling Tan Mohd Esa NorhaizanOxidative stress plays a prominent role in the development of numerous human diseases associated with animal-based protein, high-carbohydrate diets and excessive fat consumption. Obesity represents the main risk factor for chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and type 2 diabetes. Extensive research highlights the detrimental impacts of diets high in saturated fat and refined carbohydrates. Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity are attributed to the sedentary lifestyles, overconsumption of foods high in saturated fats and carbohydrates, and the saturation of nutrient storage. Indeed, the effects of oxidative stress are associated with the absolute quantity and the type of macronutrients; both of these aspects contribute to oxidative stress and may favor the development of obesity-associated diseases and obesity. Nonetheless, the underlying mechanisms of nutritionally mediated oxidative stress are complex and poorly understood. The literature reported on nutritionally mediated oxidative stress and the role of diets in oxidative stress-induced diseases has not well been compiled in a singular source. “Nutrients and Oxidative Stress: Biochemistry Aspects and Pharmacological Insights” explores how dietary choices dampen or exacerbate inflammation and oxidative stress. The implications of oxidative stress in glucose metabolism and adipocyte and obesity-associated non-communicable diseases are also discussed in this brief. Several issues linked to nutritionally mediated oxidative stress, including high carbohydrates, high animal-based proteins, and excessive consumption of fats and oxidative stress, and molecular mechanisms of oxidative stress-induced diseases are covered. The role of diets in oxidative stress-induced diseases is also discussed. By summarizing all the literature in one place, this work provides a cohesive representation of the information and practical reference on the underlying mechanisms of nutritionally mediated oxidative stress involved in the prevention of chronic diseases. The work provides a better understanding of the nutritionally mediated oxidative stress and the molecular mechanisms of oxidative stress in the development of chronic diseases and obesity.

Nutrigenomics
by Carsten Carlberg Ferdinand Molnár Stine Marie UlvenThe fascinating area of Nutrigenomics describes this daily communication between diet, food and nutrients, their metabolites and our genome. This book describes how nutrition shapes human evolution and demonstrates its consequences for our susceptibility to diseases, such as diabetes and atherosclerosis. Inappropriate diet can yield stress for our cells, tissues and organs and then it is often associated with low-grade chronic inflammation. Overnutrition paired with physical inactivity leads to overweight and obesity and results in increased burden for a body that originally was adapted for a life in the savannas of East Africa. Therefore, this textbook does not discuss a theoretical topic in science, but it talks about real life, and our life-long "chat" with diet. We are all food consumers, thus each of us is concerned by the topic of this book and should be aware of its mechanisms. The purpose of this book is to provide an overview on the principles of nutrigenomics and their relation to health or disease. We are not aiming to compete with more comprehensive textbooks on molecular nutrition, evolutionary biology, genomics, gene regulation or metabolic diseases, but rather will focus on the essentials and will combine, in a compact form, elements from different disciplines. In order to facilitate the latter, we favor a high figure-to-text ratio following the rule "a picture tells more than thousand words". The content of this book is based on the lecture course "Nutrigenomics", which is held since 2003 once per year by Prof. Carlberg at the University of Eastern Finland in Kuopio. The book is subdivided into three sections and twelve chapters. Following the "Introduction" there are sections on the "Molecular genetic basis" and the "Links to disease", which take a view on nutrigenomics from the perspective of molecular mechanisms or from the causes of metabolic diseases, respectively. Besides its value as a textbook, Nutrigenomics will be a usefull reference for individuals working in biomedicine.
Nutrigenomics (Oxidative Stress and Disease)
by Martin GardnerNutritional genomics, also referred to as nutrigenomics, is considered one of the next frontiers in the post-genomic era. This book features the latest research on the role of oxidants and dietary antioxidants in the modulation of gene expression, aging, immune function, neuroprotection, and vascular heath. It covers the relationship between oxidants, antioxidants, and gene expression, as well as new molecular techniques for the study of redox-regulated signal transduction. It summarizes the molecular mechanisms of phytochemicals and trace elements, emphasizes the impact of variations in the human genotype on individual responses to nutrients, and offers a summary of the effect of lipid and water soluble antioxidants and fatty acids on gene expression in cultured cells, laboratory animals, and humans.
Nutrigenomics and Nutraceuticals: Clinical Relevance and Disease Prevention (Nutraceuticals)
by Yashwant V. Pathak Ali M. ArdekaniGenomics and related areas of research have contributed greatly to the understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying diet–disease relationships. In the past decade, the evidence has become stronger for a direct link between genome/epigenome damage and increased risk for adverse health outcomes. It is now exceedingly clear that micronutrients are critical as cofactors for many cellular functions, including DNA repair enzymes, methylation of CpG sequences, DNA oxidation, and/or uracil incorporation into DNA. Nutrigenomics and Nutraceuticals: Clinical Relevance and Disease Prevention brings new perspectives on disease prevention strategy based on the genomic knowledge and nutraceuticals of an individual and the diet he or she receives. This book discusses the integration and application of genetic and genomics technology into nutrition research and paves the way for the development of nutrition research programs that are aimed at the prevention and control of chronic disease through genomics-based nutritional interventions. In this book, the editors bring together a wide spectrum of nutritional scientists worldwide to contribute to the growing knowledge in the field of nutrigenomics and nutraceuticals.
Nutrigenomics and Nutrigenetics in Functional Foods and Personalized Nutrition
by Lynnette R. FergusonWhile functional foods have become a reasonably well-established concept, personalized nutrition is still treated with skepticism by many. The recognition that people would have different nutrient requirements, or perceive foods in different ways, raises several concerns-some real, some not so real.

Nutrigenomics: How Science Works
by Carsten Carlberg Ferdinand MolnárNow in its second edition, this concise textbook provides an overview of the field of nutrigenomics, a topic at the intersection of nutrition and genetics that explores how dietary molecules interact with our genome and epigenome to influence health and disease. Substantially updated and expanded, the book offers a fresh perspective on how diet has shaped human evolution and our susceptibility to conditions such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The 11 chapters cover a wide range of topics, beginning with an overview of the role of nutrients in health and disease, basic mechanisms of nutrient sensing and nuclear receptors, and the impact of epigenetic regulation on health. Readers will discover how chromatin-modifying enzymes and energy status-sensing kinases play critical roles in signaling pathways between diet and the genome. The book also explores the influence of diet on cancer prevention, the importance of the microbiome, and low-grade chronic inflammation and aging. Written in an accessible style, this textbook is intended for undergraduate and graduate students in nutrition, biochemistry, molecular biology, and biology as well as for students and practitioners in medicine. Numerous color illustrations aid in the transfer of knowledge by graphically summarizing complex processes. Combined with a glossary that explains key terms, this work is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in how our daily dietary choices interact with our genome.
