Oncological Functional Nutrition: Phytochemicals and Medicinal
Plants presents the anticancer activities, metabolism, mechanism of
action, doses, and sources of various phytochemicals and medicinal
plants. Broken into five parts, this book addresses cancer
epidemiology, molecular and therapeutic bases of cancer, macro and
micronutrients in cancer prevention and treatment, phytochemicals
in the cancer treatment, and medical plants as potential functional
foods or resources for the obtention of metabolites with anticancer
activity. Written for nutritionists, food scientists, health
professionals, oncologists, endocrinologists, natural product
chemists, ethnobotanists, chemists, pharmacists, biochemists, and
students studying relating fields, Oncological Functional
Nutrition: Phytochemicals and Medicinal Plants will be a useful
reference for those interested in learning more about functional
nutrition and cancer.

Inflammation and Natural Products brings together research in the
area of the natural products and their anti-inflammatory action in
medical, nutraceutical and food products, addressing specific
chronic inflammatory diseases like cancer and the mechanistic
aspects of the mode of action of some key natural products.
Inflammation is a complicated process, driven by infection or
injury or genetic changes, which results in triggering signalling
cascades, activation of transcription factors, gene expression,
increased levels of inflammatory enzymes, and release of various
oxidants and pro-inflammatory molecules in inflammatory cells.
Excessive oxidants and inflammatory mediators have a harmful effect
on normal tissue, including toxicity, loss of barrier function,
abnormal cell proliferation, inhibiting normal function of tissues
and organs and finally leading to systemic disorders. The emerging
development of natural product formulations utilizing the unique
anti-inflammatory compounds such as polyphenols, polysaccharides,
terpenes, fatty acids, proteins and several other bioactive
components has shown notable successes. Inflammation and Natural
Products: Recent Development and Current Status provides a
comprehensive resource, ranging from detailed explanation on
inflammation to molecular docking strategies for naturally
occurring compounds with anti-inflammatory activity. It is useful
for graduate students, academic and professionals in the fields of
pharmaceutical and medical sciences and specialists from natural
product-related industries.
