Metabolic Syndrome (MS) is a highly prevalent condition in
developed countries and is a cluster of several risk factors for
type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease that includes increased
body mass index/waist circumference, visceral obesity, insulin
resistance, hyperclycaemia, dyslipidaemia and hypertension, which
are all major causes of morbidity and death.
This volume provides a critical review and discussion of the
knowledge gathered on MS and analyzes the interplay between
oxidative stress, chronic inflammation and angiogenesis features.
There is a special focus on recent discoveries and progress toward
possible therapeutic strategies, such as the role of glucose
transporters within MS; the effects of polyphenols as anti-oxidant,
anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic compounds.
The role of NFkB, nitric oxide synthases, hypoxia-inducible
factors, and many other molecules that play a part in the
development of oxidative stress and inflammation as well as
angiogenesis is also covered.
This book fills the gap between basic science and medical care,
and provides the reader with the skills to apply rigorous basic
science to clinical settings of metabolic syndrome-associated
disorders.
