This book provides a comprehensive overview of metabonomics and gut
microbiota research from molecular analysis to population-based
global health considerations. The topics include the discussion of
the applications in relation to metabonomics and gut microbiota in
nutritional research, in health and disease and a review of future
therapeutical, nutraceutical and clinical applications. It also
examines the translatability of systems biology approaches into
applied clinical research and to patient health and nutrition. The
rise in multifactorial disorders, the lack of understanding of the
molecular processes at play and the needs for disease prediction in
asymptomatic conditions are some of the many questions that system
biology approaches are well suited to address. Achieving this goal
lies in our ability to model and understand the complex web of
interactions between genetics, metabolism, environmental factors
and gut microbiota. Being the most densely populated microbial
ecosystem on earth, gut microbiota co-evolved as a key component of
human biology, essentially extending the physiological definition
of humans. Major advances in microbiome research have shown that
the contribution of the intestinal microbiota to the overall health
status of the host has been so far underestimated. Human host gut
microbial interaction is one of the most significant human health
considerations of the present day with relevance for both
prevention of disease via microbiota-oriented environmental
protection as well as strategies for new therapeutic approaches
using microbiota as targets and/or biomarkers. In many aspects,
humans are not a complete and fully healthy organism without their
appropriate microbiological components. Increasingly, scientific
evidence identifies gut microbiota as a key biological interface
between human genetics and environmental conditions encompassing
nutrition. Microbiota dysbiosis or variation in metabolic activity
has been associated with metabolic deregulation (e.g. obesity,
inflammatory bowel disease), disease risk factor (e.g. coronary
heart disease) and even the aetiology of various pathologies (e.g.
autism, cancer), although causal role into impaired metabolism
still needs to be established. Metabonomics and Gut Microbiota in
Nutrition and Disease serves as a handbook for postgraduate
students, researchers in life sciences or health sciences,
scientists in academic and industrial environments working in
application areas as diverse as health, disease, nutrition,
microbial research and human clinical medicine.
Emphasis in agricultural production has shifted from mere quantity
to quality products. Practical experience and scientific
investigations have shown that, of the various culture measures,
balanced fertilization above all exerts a considerable influence on
the quality of agricultural products. Simply adding more of what
the crop has already absorbed to capacity is unproductive,
expensive, wasteful and damaging to the environment. Therefore,
balanced crop nutrition increases crop quality, safeguards natural
resources and brings benefit to the farmer. Otherwise rapid
population growth and severe urbanization will exhaust our natural
resources.
This volume covers advances in the field of respiratory diseases,
reflecting the recent and dramatic expansion of knowledge regarding
the determinants of respiratory health, screening tests for early
pulmonary lesions, therapeutic interventions for respiratory
infections and strategies for prevention. It examines indoor and
outdoor environmental sources of respiratory diseases, including
levels of pollutants, air conditioning, indoor air quality and
airborne allergens. Exploring ways to promote the respiratory
health of both the individual and the community, Prevention of
Respiratory Diseases covers areas including: the role of most of
the known extrinsic and potentially preventable determinants in
respiratory diseases; developments in epidemiology and children's
respiratory health; the relationship between respiratory diseases
and occupations; individual sensitivity or susceptibility to the
effects of air pollutants; genetic, epidemiological and
immunological markers, markers for bronchial cancer and the
protease-antiprotease system; and the connection between tobacco
smoke and respiratory diseases.;This resource is intended for
pulmonologists, clinical immunologists and allergists, oncologists,
physiologists, infectious disease specialists, respiratory
therapists and graduate and medical school students in these
disciplines.
