Abstract

The book provides a comprehensive overview to understanding the integrated impact of the concepts of cellular and molecular aspects, models, environmental factors, and lifestyle involved in premature aging. Additionally, it examines how functional food, dietary nutraceuticals or pharmacological compounds can reverse inflammation and premature aging based on personalized medicine. This book is a valuable resource for health professionals, scientists and researchers, nutritionists, health practitioners, students and for all those who wish to broaden their knowledge in the allied field.

• Includes models of aging, including worm, mouse and human
• Explores the relationship of inflammation with diseases, including ocular health, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, and muscle health
• Encompasses a variety of lifestyle impacts, including diet, exercise and nutrition
• Includes suggested nutritional interventions

"The goal is to find pharmacological compounds or dietary polyphenals to treat chronic inflammation, cellular senescence, and premature aging. Scientists from many biomedical specialties review the current concepts and knowledge in the matter, emphasizing cellular and molecular aspects using in vitro cell cultures and in vivo animal and human models. The topics include the biological significance of zinc in inflammation and aging,…"--ProtoView.com, February 2014
