Metabolic Syndrome and Neurological Disorders
brings together information on the cluster of common pathologies which
cause metabolic syndrome - abdominal obesity linked to an excess of
visceral fat, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and hypertension - to
provide a comprehensive and cutting edge exploration of the link between
metabolic syndrome and neurological disorders.
Metabolic
syndrome is recognized to play a role in neurological disorders such as
stroke, Alzheimer's disease, and depression. For the first time in book
form, Metabolic Syndrome and Neurological Disorders covers the molecular
mechanisms thought to underlie this mirror relationship, as well as how
lifestyle and other factors such as oxidative stress and inflammation
may play a role in the disease. Grounded in a series of epidemiological
studies of metabolic-cognitive syndrome, this book will be a valuable
reference for researchers, dietitians, nutritionists, and physicians.
