Evidence-Based Nutrition and Clinical Evidence of Bioactive Foods in Human Health and Disease

Evidence-Based Nutrition and Clinical Evidence of Bioactive Foods in Human Health and Disease explores a wide range of studies from clinical investigations to mechanistic research, covering the actions of bioactives on specific tissues and cells in intestinal, neurological, immunological, and cardiovascular health and disease, including cancers. The book also focuses on metabolism, mechanisms of actions, tissue-specific effects, and structure-function relationship between clinical trial, ex vivo, and in vitro data. Written for nutrition researchers, clinical researchers, dieticians, and others working in and studying health-related fields, Evidence-Based Nutrition and Clinical Evidence of Bioactive Foods in Human Health and Disease highlights the concept of the preventive and therapeutic impacts of bioactive foods and is sure to be a welcomed reference. Presents information on the prevention of disease using bioactive compounds Consolidates the research outcome from a variety of sources on the specific bioactive foods Contains coverage of bioactive lipids and lipid mediators, bioactive phytochemicals, probiotics, bioactive proteins, peptides, polysaccharides and fibers, and sphingolipids
