The Middle East is known as the cradle of civilization. It was the
crossroads of ancient empires and the birthplace of major world
religions. Today it is the center of many world issues due to its
economic, religious and political importance. Although it has
lagged behind many other regions of the world in medicinal
research, this has increased dramatically in recent years with
increasing numbers of relevant publications and the country of Iran
has spearheaded this progress. Much of the research has focused on
increasing our understanding of the aging process and attempting to
identify biomarkers and natural products to improve the human
healthspan. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the
research conducted in the Middle East on the health benefits of
curcumin, a phytochemical derived from the famous spice turmeric.
Hundreds of studies have now been published describing the health
benefits of this spice. The importance of this research is
exemplified by poor data regarding health and longevity as only
0.08% of the population in Iran consists of individuals over 90
years of age. This is approximately 10 times lower than the
percentage of this same age group in the United Kingdom and the
United States of America and almost 20 times lower than that in
Japan. This book presents a series of reviews and meta-studies
describing research which has resulted in identification potential
new biomarkers and drug targets for age-related disorders. All of
the studies have focussed on the testing of curcumin and related
products, which have already shown some promising leads in
age-related conditions such as heart-disease, diabetes, cognitive
impairment and cancer. The authors in this series come from
different centers and cities of Iran, including Mashhad, Tehran,
Isfahan, Ahvaz, Birjand, Quchan and Yazd, and many of the chapters
feature collaborations with other countries of the Middle East and
throughout the world, including Brazil, Italy, Mexico, Oman,
Poland, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States of
America. This underscores the emergence of the Middle East into
this arena of research. The book will be of high interest to
scientific and clinical researchers in the subject of aging and
age-related disease, and to physicians and pharmaceutical company
scientists since it gives insights into the latest strategies,
biomarkers and targets involved in the mechanism of action of
curcumin to promote healthy aging. It will also provide important
information on disease mechanisms related to age-related disorders,
as each chapter will be presented in the context of specific
chronic diseases.
