Neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
disease, are a growing problem across the world's aging population.
Oxidative stress in the brain plays a central role in a common
pathophysiology of these diseases. This book presents scientific
research on the potential of antioxidant therapy in the prevention
and treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. This book outlines
the roles of oxidative stress and diabetes mellitus in
neurodegeneration, describes the molecular mechanisms of
neurodegenerative disorders including the roles of environmental
pollutants and inflammatory responses, and explores mitochondrial
dysfunction. It then describes the protective abilities of
antioxidants - including vitamin D, tocotrienol and coenzyme Q10 -
against neurodegeneration. The book demonstrates the therapeutic
potential of ketogenic diets, and highlights the roles of medicinal
plants, phytopharmaceuticals, traditional medicines and food
nutrients in neuroprotection. Key Features: Explains damage caused
by numerous neurodegenerative disorders and the possible protection
offered by antioxidants and functional foods. Describes molecular
mechanisms of neurodegeneration by oxidative stress, advancing age,
diabetes and mitochondrial dysfunctions. Demonstrates protection
offered by nutraceuticals, antioxidants, botanical extracts and
functional foods. The book contains twenty-three chapters divided
into six sections written by leading researchers. This book is
essential reading for health professionals, dietitians, food and
nutrition scientists and anyone wanting to improve their knowledge
of etiology of neurodegenerative diseases.
