Title: Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Mechanisms in Obesity, Diabetes, and the Metabolic Syndrome
Description: This groundbreaking work encourages the exploration and development of evidence-based nutritional and pharmacological therapies. It is hoped that these therapies will attenuate the impact of obesity-induced insulin resistance and ensuing metabolic syndrome. The book offers readers a greater understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underlie inflammation and oxidative stress. Edited by two of the world's leading authorities on oxidative stress, the book reporst on cutting-edge research that explores the intracellular events mediating or preventing oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory processes in obesity and type 2 diabetes.  It also brings together research on the molecular mechanisms inherent in the progression of metabolic stress, and includes phenotypic perspectives, while also discussing the role of dietary factors, including the importance of micronutrients.
