Phytonutrients and Neurological Disorders: Therapeutic and Toxicological Aspects

Phytonutrients and Neurological Disorders: Therapeutic and Toxicological Aspects provides and assesses the latest research and developments surrounding the use of phytonutrients for the treatment of neurological disorders. The volume analyzes advances in phytonutrient isolation, characterization and therapeutic applications, giving particular emphasis to mechanisms and safety profiles. The book takes toxicological considerations into account, including adverse drug reactions, toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics. Sections cover bioactive compound classes and biosynthesis pathways, general considerations, including quality control, standardization, and technology, and toxicology. This title is a comprehensive work on the latest research in phytonutrients and neurological disorders that will be useful to researchers and medical practitioners. Presents a comprehensive resource on phytonutrients and their relationship to neurological disorders Analyzes the isolation, characterization and mechanisms of phytonutrients in neurology Focuses on various signaling pathways followed by phytonutrients in neuroprotection Gives the latest thinking on quality control parameters and specifications for phytonutrient study Considers the toxicology of phytonutrients, including adverse drug reactions, toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics INDICE: Part A, Section 1: Bioactive compound classes and biosynthesis pathway 1.
