This book focuses on the nutrients and nutraceuticals that promote
active and healthy ageing - recently defined by the WHO as the
process of development and maintenance of functional capacity that
allows well-being at an advanced stage of life. There has been a
rapid rise in the use of nutritional interventions as well as
specific nutraceuticals in the management of multifactorial aspects
of clinical health outcomes. Written by leading experts this book
comprehensively discusses the various ageing phenotypes and
age-related diseases. It also assesses the nutritional status of
the elderly and the various epidemiological factors that influence
it. It reviews the role of dietary fiber in disease-free and fully
functional ageing. Further, the book explores the benefits of
polyphenols, which are secondary plant metabolites, in protecting
against cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and various
neurodegenerative diseases.

Naturally Occurring Chemicals against Alzheimer's Disease offers a
detailed discussion on the roles, molecular mechanisms, structural
activity relationships, toxicology and clinical data on
phytochemicals in relation to Alzheimer's disease. The book
examines the available phytochemicals and plants that are
potentially effective, also determining the role and molecular
targets of these phytochemicals in combating AD. This comprehensive
resource will be helpful to researchers who are working on herbal
drugs on AD, phytochemistry, pharmacology, toxicology, clinical
trials, neuroscience and advancement in formulations.
Recent Advances in Natural Products Analysis is a thorough guide to
the latest analytical methods used for identifying and studying
bioactive phytochemicals and other natural products. Chemical
compounds, such as flavonoids, alkaloids, carotenoids and saponins
are examined, highlighting the many techniques for studying their
properties. Each chapter is devoted to a compound category,
beginning with the underlying chemical properties of the main
components followed by techniques of extraction, purification and
fractionation, and then techniques of identification and
quantification. Biological activities, possible interactions,
levels found in plants, the effects of processing, and current and
potential industrial applications are also included.
Influence of Nutrients, Bioactive Compounds, and Plant Extracts in
Liver Diseases provides evidence-based knowledge of the mechanism
of action of natural compounds, as well as the relation of
structure and function of phytochemicals in hepatitis B and C,
fatty liver disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, liver
cancer, biliary cirrhosis, and primary sclerosing cholangitis. The
effect of phytochemicals in the hepatotoxicity of drugs is also
addressed. Written for health professionals seeking reliable and
up-to-date information on the beneficial or toxic effects of
natural compounds on liver disease, this book is sure to be a
welcomed resource for nutritionists, food chemists, natural product
researchers, pharmacists, medical doctors, and pharmacognosists
alike.
