Micronutrients and Brain Health addresses cutting-edge research
related to processes of oxidative stress that affect brain
function, an area of increasing significance for those concerned
and involved with public health and translational medicine. Edited
by four leading micronutrient researchers, the book brings together
the investigative work of more than 70 leading researchers from
across the world. Chapters identify brain-specific micronutrients
that support function as well as the molecular mechanisms
underlying their neuroprotectant activity. These explore
age-related metabolic pathways, mitochondrial nutrients,
neurodegeneration and micronutrients, cell signaling, and neuronal
functions. General chapters are included on brain structure,
function, and metabolism, while several other chapters are devoted
to the role of specific micronutrients. The book explores how brain
micronutrients are found to be both metabolic and redox regulators,
thereby establishing a cross-talk between the major pathways
involved in modulation of cell signaling and gene expression.
Specific areas of research covered include: Uses of nutritional
interventions to target age-related neuronal and behavioral
deficits Effects of various micronutrients on Alzheimer's disease,
including lipoic acid, green tea, and Ginkgo biloba extracts
Nutrients specific to essential mitochondrial functions Cognitive
and behavioral consequences of iron deficiency with specific
emphasis on women of reproductive age Omega-3 fatty acids and their
relation to brain function in the elderly Challenges inherent in
the development of neuroprotective-neurorescue drugs This book
belongs to the groundbreaking CRC Press Series on Oxidative Stress
and Disease. The series now includes more than two dozen volumes
that address increasing evidence regarding the multiple ways that
oxidative stress initiates and accelerates disease mechanisms. Most
importantly, this book, like the series, offers invaluable
information regarding nutritional and lifestyle choices, and
pharmaceutical interventions that can be employed to prevent,
control, and even ameliorate disease processes attributed to
oxidative stress.
