Vitamin C holds a unique place in scientific and cultural history.
In this book, a group of leading scientific researchers describe
new insights into the myriad ways vitamin C is employed during
normal physiological functioning. In addition, the text provides an
extensive overview of the following: the rationale for utilizing
vitamin C in the clinic, updates on recent uses of vitamin C in
cancer treatment through high-dose intravenous therapies, the role
vitamin C plays in the treatment of sepsis and infectious disease,
management of the ways vitamin C can improve stem cell
differentiation, as well as vitamin C use in other important health
situations. Features Includes chapters from a team of leading
international scholars Reviews the history and recent research on
the functions, benefits, and uses of vitamin C Focuses special
attention on the way vitamin C can be used in the treatment of
cancers Discusses how vitamin C can be employed against infectious
disease
Much of the biology of oxidative stress and oxidative signalling
centres on the generation and handling of hydrogen peroxide. The
overall aim for this book would be to provide an insightful and
useful forum to assist with the understanding of the relevance of
hydrogen peroxide generation and how this is managed in human
biology. The target audience would be those who currently have an
interest in the generation of ROS, but who do not have expertise in
chemistry, as well as those experts in the chemistry of oxidative
stress, but without detailed understanding of the biologically
relevant setting. We would aim to bridge the gap in understanding
between chemistry and biology.
Describes the ways Vitamin C can inhibit, perturb or retard the
growth and spread of cancer through changing the ways cancers
respond to different doses and treatmentsSumarizes the results of
clinical trialsOutlines therapeutical usesChapters by an
international team of researchers.
Vitamin C may offer significant therapeutic benefits in the
treatment of cancer. This book includes chapters by a group of
leading scientific researchers documenting the ways cancer can be
affected by high doses of ascorbate. After an initial chapter
providing a historical perspective, subsequent chapters focus on
cancer cell death, reprogramming of somatic cells, recent case
studies, and other ways vitamin C can improve outcomes of therapy.
Features Includes chapters from a team of leading international
scholars Reviews the history of beneficial uses of vitamin C in the
treatment of cancer Summarizes recent case studies Discusses how
vitamin C may synergistically affect other cancer treatment methods
