Divided into four main sections, Dietary Sugar, Salt and Fat in
Human Health explores the biochemical, pharmacological and
medicinal aspects related to the overindulgence of dietary salt,
sugar, and fat, along with possible remedies. Beginning with a
general overview, the text outlines aspects associated with
advancing age and human physiology, such as different aspects of
insulin resistance, the advancing age phenomenon, central fat
accumulation and metabolic perturbations and the role of the modern
Western diet and the influence of dietary sugar, salt, and fat,
with particular focus on their relation to multiple biochemical
pathophysiological pathways. The second section of the book focuses
on the roles of dietary sugars and their correlation with the
chronic disease epidemic, with an emphasis on carbohydrate
metabolism and its biochemistry, GI absorption, the glycemic index
and the influence of fructose. The historical background of dietary
sugars is discussed alongside Atkin's hypothesis, and an overview
of the correlation between dietary fibre and the glycemic index,
including a chapter on sugar addiction. Section three contains an
exhaustive review of the influence of dietary salt and its diverse
mechanistic aspects, including salt-sensitive hypertension,
contribution of two steroid receptor pathways, vascular NO,
intrarenal RAAS system and angiotensin. The fourth section
highlights the biochemistry of dietary saturated, polyunsaturated
and trans fat and its influence on human health and various
diseases, and further explores NAFLD and gender specific problems.
Chapters in this section also investigate the benefits of the
Mediterranean diet as well as myths related to cholesterol.
Collected and carefully organized for researchers in nutrition,
physiology, epidemiology, or sensory science, this book will also
benefit general practitioners, surgeons, nurses, health
professionals and practitioners, and students studying the role of
diet in cardiometabolic disorders and disease.
