Physiological Consequences of Brain Insulin Action
The brain is crucial for the regulation of whole-body metabolism and behavior. The pancreas-derived hormone insulin modulates brain function and affects energy metabolism as well as cognition. This is partially achieved by modulating several types of brain cell populations including those relevant to satiety and reward. Importantly, brains of Alzheimer ́s disease patients exhibit a signature of brain insulin resistance with perturbed brain metabolism. This book will cover the basics of insulin signaling in the brain and will describe concepts of insulin resistance, a feature of type 2 diabetes. Moreover insulin ́s effect on cognitive function will be pointed out and the association between...
The Dynamic Nature of Mitochondria
Mitochondrial research has exploded over the last ~150 years. This book gives an amazing view on a conceptual change in our understanding of mitochondrial biology. It becomes clear that mitochondria are extremely dynamic in nature, controlling life at multiple levels. Mitochondria rule energy conversion, adapt cells well to changing stress and nutrient conditions, and regulate many cellular processes including immunity. The dynamic nature of mitochondria occurs at an intramitochondrial level but also includes its ability to interact with other organelles and to modulate multiple signalling pathways. It is thus not surprising that alterations or inabilities to ensure this dynamic behaviour is...
Environmental Stressors and OxInflammatory Tissues Responses
Environmental risk factors – noise, air pollution, chemical agents, and ultraviolet radiation – impact human health by contributing to the onset and progression of noncommunicable diseases. Accordingly, there is need for preclinical and clinical studies and comprehensive summary of major findings. This book is a state-of-the-art summary of these myriad severe life stressors. The chapters on the different pollutants focus on disease mechanisms (cardiovascular, neurological and metabolic disorders) and on oxidative stress and inflammation. The editors emphasize emerging mechanisms based on dysregulation of the circadian clock, the microbiome, epigenetic pathways, and cognitive function by environmental stressors, and introduce the exposome concept while highlighting existing research gaps. Key Features: Links various environmental stressors to the incidence of noncommunicable diseases Includes chapters on airborne toxins, chemical pollutants, noise, and ultraviolet radiation stressors Contributions from an international team of leading researchers Summarizes the impacts of stressors on disease mechanisms
Peroxiporins
To produce energy, aerobic organisms transform oxygen molecules into water. This reductive mechanism yields toxic radical intermediates, collectively known as reactive oxygen species (ROS). Paradoxically, these physiological processes entail the production of potentially damaging species. Evolution has turned this apparent disadvantage into an opportunity for transmitting information. As a result, redox signaling within the cell is an efficient exquisitely organized process. A key element for its regulation is the physical separation of sources and targets into different cell compartments. Peroxiporins, H2O2 transporting proteins spanning biological membranes, distribute the signal from emit...
Nutritional Intake and the Risk for Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
This book is a printed edition of the Special Issue "Nutritional Intake and the Risk for Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)" that was published in Nutrients
Metal Nanocomposites in Nanotherapeutics for Oxidative Stress-Induced Metabolic Disorders
This book highlights the role and mechanism of different metal nanocomposites toward oxidative stress-induced metabolic disorders including metabolic pathways affected by oxidative stress and related pathophysiology. The book includes an illustrative discussion about the methods of synthesis, characterization, and biomedical applications of metal nanocomposites. It focuses on the therapeutic approaches for metabolic disorders due to oxidative stress by nano delivery systems. Moreover, the book includes chapters on nanotherapeutic approaches toward different diseases, including diabetes mellitus, obesity, cardiovascular disorders, cancers, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's di...
Gehirn&Geist 12/2023 Besser denken dank Brainfood?
Ich liebe Obst und Gemüse: Zu meinen Favoriten gehören unter anderem Beeren, Äpfel, Brokkoli und Tomaten. Dass sie auch die Gesundheit fördern sollen, ist da für mich erst einmal nur ein Nebenaspekt – wenngleich ein wichtiger. Manchen dieser Leckereien wird zudem eine positive Wirkung auf unser Gehirn nachgesagt. Die in ihnen vorkommenden Omega– Fettsäuren, Flavonoide oder B-Vitamine sollen unseren Denkapparat leistungsfähig halten: echtes Brainfood, das mindestens so wichtig ist wie geistig anregende Tätigkeiten. Die Belege dafür fehlen allerdings noch vielfach, wie Frank Luerweg in unserem Titelthema ab S. 12 beschreibt. Viele Studien basieren demnach auf Korrelationen, die ü...
The Busy Brain Cure
An eye-opening guidebook for professionals looking to overcome their chronic stress, burnout and Busy Brain symptoms using a simple eight-week plan by Dr Romie Mushtaq. Traditional methods in neurology and psychiatry treat anxiety, ADD and insomnia as three separate diseases. The results are an addictive cycle that Dr Romie Mushtaq defines as the Busy Brain, using stimulants like caffeine to stay focused and energised during the day and then using sedatives like alcohol or sleeping pills at night. Based on over twenty years of clinical research and experience, The Busy Brain Cure helps to break the addiction of the stimulant-sedative cycle and restore sleep, sanity and a sense of connection.
Biologia del alzheimer
A nivel mundial, la enfermedad de Alzheimer es un creciente problema de salud pública. Los complejos matices de su expresión no solo afectan al paciente, sino también a la familia y al Estado. Un mejor entendimiento de su etiología, así como la búsqueda de alternativas dignas para una enfermedad compleja, son una tarea que precisa de la fuerza avasalladora de la biología. ‘Biología del alzhéimer: evolución y demencia’ es una obra que responde a ese desafío de democratización del conocimiento, a través de la exploración de este tipo de neurodegeneración. En esta obra, para una mejor comprensión, se han conjugado distintas disciplinas provenientes de la biología, tales com...
Mechanisms of Insulin Action
More than 18 million people in the United States have diabetes mellitus, and about 90% of these have the type 2 form of the disease. This book attempts to dissect the complexity of the molecular mechanisms of insulin action with a special emphasis on those features of the system that are subject to alteration in type 2 diabetes and other insulin resistant states. It explores insulin action at the most basic levels, through complex systems.
