Ob Schwangerschaft, Wechseljahre, Verliebtsein oder Pubertat: Oft heisst es, die Hormone spielen verruckt. Doch weit gefehlt: Hormone, die Boten unseres Koerpers, beeinflussen unser Leben von der ersten Sekunde an. Nur wenn sie tun, was sie tun sollen, funktioniert unser Koerper, wie er soll. Zu wissen, wie das menschliche Hormonsystem arbeitet, ist nicht nur spannend, sondern hilft auch dabei, den eigenen Koerper und die eigenen Gefuhle und Handlungsweisen besser zu verstehen. Dieses Buch bietet gut verstandliches Fachwissen, ausfuhrlich erklart und kompakt zusammengefasst. Es liefert Informationen zu hormonellen Stoerungen und beantwortet Fragen, die sich viele von uns schon einmal gestellt haben: Warum bin ich zu dick? Warum bin ich zu dunn? Warum fallen mir hier die Haare aus und habe ich dort zu viele? Warum schwitze ich so viel? Warum bleibt meine Periode aus? Warum bin ich dauernd mude? Sind's vielleicht die Hormone? Ganz nebenbei erfahrt man auch, warum unser Hormonsystem aus der Steinzeit stammt und wieso das heute ein Problem sein kann, was Goliath mit einer Hormonstoerung zu tun hatte oder warum "Mann" nicht immer kann. Prof. Harald J. Schneider ist Facharzt fur Endokrinologie. Seit 2000 behandelt er tagtaglich Patienten, die mit diesen und vielen anderen Fragen in seine Praxis kommen. Nicola Jacobi ist ausgebildete Journalistin und freie Autorin fur verschiedene Medien. Sie ist aber auch Betroffene und beschaftigt sich deswegen seit vielen Jahren mit diesem Thema.

This book sheds new light on the management of patients with borderline cardiovascular risk factors in order to prevent their progression to end organ damage. The book stimulates discussion of this poorly understood condition and lays the groundwork for developing recommendations and guidelines. While the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to full-blown diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia and obesity is well defined, there is still a lack of clear understanding and guidelines as far as patients with borderline conditions - especially when multiple - are concerned. Moreover, end-organ damage depends on several factors, including genetic factors, making it difficult to predict its extent. As such, the gradual transition from a healthy subject to one with functional hemodynamic changes, and then one with structurally asymptomatic changes and lastly to overt disease needs further investigation. In order to address these knowledge gaps, the book covers a broad variety of topics, making it a valuable tool for identifying which asymptomatic subjects could profit from being appropriately screened and at what stage. Furthermore it offers insights into better treating these patients to prevent their progression to overt disease. The book appeals to cardiologists, primary care physicians and all those healthcare professional looking to optimize the management of these complex and often undiagnosed cases.

Diabetes: Oxidative Stress and Dietary Antioxidants, Second Edition, builds on the success of the first edition, covering updated research on the science of oxidative stress in diabetes and the potentially therapeutic usage of natural antioxidants in the diet and food matrix. The processes within the science of oxidative stress are not described in isolation, but rather in concert with other processes, such as apoptosis, cell signaling and receptor mediated responses. This approach recognizes that diseases are often multifactorial and oxidative stress is a single component of this. Since the publication of the first edition, the science of oxidative stress and free radical biology continues to rapidly advance with thousands of the research articles on the topic. New sections in this update cover the role of dietary advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in causing OS in diabetes, oxidative stress and diabetes-induced bone metabolism, and oxidative stress and diabetic foot ulcer.

This textbook offers a concise, yet comprehensive account of human nutrition, food and nutrition-related health problems, based on the curricula of top universities around the globe. Nutrition is a multidisciplinary science, and as such, the book discusses various aspects of physiology, biochemistry, pathology, immunology, medicine, food science, and other fields related to nutrition, it focuses on the role of nutrition in the maintenance of health. The various chapters explore highly relevant issues, such as, addiction-related health problems, lifestyle-related disorders, social health problems and poor-maintenance of food hygiene and food safety. It also addresses the role of nutritional therapies for mental disorders, and includes an integrated perspective on cognition, oxidative stress and nutritional interventions in aging. Other topics include, the role of gut microbiota on human health, nutraceuticals as therapeutic agents and ketogenic diets. It also highlights malnutrition (protein energy malnutrition, starvation, malabsorption syndrome, eating disorders and overnutrition/obesity) and adipose tissue as an active endocrine organ. Moreover, it examines key concepts concerning the role of vitamins in the citric acid cycle (gluconeogenesis, ketogenesis, oxidative deamination and transamination) and precursors of coenzymes, as well as calorigenic hormones, appetite-stimulating/appetite-inhibiting hormones, anabolic and catabolic hormones affecting protein metabolism, and lipogenetic/lipolytic hormones.

Wer kennt es nicht - man ist mitten im Medizinstudium, hat zwar schon einiges, aber langst noch nicht alles gelernt und fuhlt sich in Sachen Diagnosestellung alles andere als sattelfest. Und dann kommt sie, die unvermeidliche Frage auf der nachsten Familienfeier: "Du, sag mal, Du studierst doch Medizin, kannst Du mir sagen, was das hier ist?" - und ehe man sich versieht, wird man mit veranderten Hautstellen, geschwollenen Mandeln und weiteren Symptomen konfrontiert, die man gar nicht unbedingt von seiner naheren Bekannt- und Verwandtschaft sehen und wissen wollte. Einerseits schlagt da stolz das Herz in der Brust, andererseits aber nur so lange, wie man mit den Symptomen auch etwas anfangen kann. Was, wenn die Frage zur schuppenden Hautstelle vor dem Semester kommt, in dem die Dermatologie dran ist? Und wenn man auch nicht aus dem eigenen Erfahrungsfundus schoepfen kann? Was, wenn man zwar dunkel ahnt, was Besenreiser sind, aber keine Antwort auf die Frage parat hat, ob man etwas dagegen machen muss? Diese Buchreihe soll auf eine leicht verstandliche Art helfen, die meisten und gangigsten Alltagszipperlein zu erklaren und zu erkennen. Welche Fragen sollten Sie anderen oder sich stellen, um auf die richtige Fahrte zu kommen und Moegliches von Unwahrscheinlichem abzugrenzen?

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been increasing worldwide, and it is becoming a public health concern. In this book, the pathophysiological risk factors of progression from normoglycemia to prediabetes and the lifestyle modifications and pharmacological interventions for preventing or delaying the development of glucose intolerance is examined. Furthermore, the insulin signaling pathway regulates the cellular uptake of glucose and wholebody metabolic homeostasis in mammalians. This book explores the improvement of estrogen signaling in preventing the comorbidities of insulin resistance. The next chapter focuses on nutritional management during the perioperative period, focusing on glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. There are three major problems for nutritional management during the perioperative period. These problems are addressed and suggestions are made on how to alleviate them. Finally, Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the most common lethal inherited disorder in Caucasians, affecting 1 in 2,500 - 2,800 live births. The last chapter examines impaired glucose tolerance in cystic fibrosis.
