OXIDATIVE STRESS AND INFLAMMATORY MECHANISMS IN OBESITY, DIABETES AND THE METABOLIC SYNDROME

This groundbreaking work offers a comprehensive view of the different components of metabolic stress and its association - and that of obesity with oxidative stress and inflammation It reports on the cutting-edge research on the intracellular events mediating or preventing oxidative stress and pro inflammatory processes in obesity and type 2 diabetes. It also addresses the molecular mechanisms inherent in the progression of metabolic stress, and considers phenotypic perspectives, as well as dietary factors and micronutrients. By offering a greater understanding of metabolic stress, this book is designed to encourage evidence-based nutritional and pharmacological therapies to attenuate the impact of obesity-induced insulin resistance and ensuing metabolic syndrome.
