The Liver: Oxidative Stress and Dietary Antioxidants

The Liver: Oxidative Stress and Dietary Antioxidants takes a novel approach to the science of oxidative stress in liver disease by recognizing that diseases are multifactorial and oxidative stress is a single component. The book highlights oxidative stress in relation to other processes such as apoptosis, cell signaling, and receptor mediated responses. It includes the therapeutic usage of natural antioxidants in the diet and food matrix as well as coverage of pharmacological and natural agents designed to counteract oxidative stress. Written for research scientists, gastroenterologists, food scientists, hepatologists and physicians, this trans-disciplinary divide between the basic science and mechanisms of liver disease and oxidative stress can help advance medical sciences and enable new preventative and treatment strategies. Provides framework for in-depth analysis by providing the basic processes of oxidative stress from molecular biology to whole organs in relation to the liverBridges the trans-disciplinary divide between the basic science and mechanisms of liver disease and oxidative stress in order to advance medical sciences and enable preventative and treatment strategiesContributions are from leading national and international experts including those from world renowned institutions INDICE: Oxidative Stress and the Liver 1.
