Le magnésium
Minéral prépondérant aussi bien à la surface de la terre que dans les océans, le magnésium est l'un des plus importants quantitativement dans le corps humain. C'est également une substance particulièrement intéressante pour la santé publique car peu coûteuse, disponible, d'emploi facile, présentant de très faibles risques de toxicité et dont l'administration est intéressante dans de nombreuses conditions cliniques. L'objectif de la première partie de ce livre est de faire le point sur les connaissances actuelles les plus communément admises sur la biochimie du magnésium et d'en montrer les conséquences biologiques qui permettront de mieux comprendre comment et pourquoi il ...

Provides a comprehensive overview of GCB, chlorogenic acid/caffeoylquinic acid, and related compounds found in green coffee beans. Discusses GCB in healthy weight management, hypertension, diabetes, and neuroprotection. Demonstrates ethnobotany as well as intricate aspects of medicinal chemistry, pharmacognosy, and pharmacology of GCB. Includes information on safety, toxicity, recommended dosage, and use of chlorogenic acid/caffeoylquinic acid, and GCB extract. Features literature on GCB extract as an antidiabetic as well as effects on blood pressure associated with metabolic syndrome. Includes detailed information on manufacturing technology of GCB.
Methylxanthines
In the present volume of the Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology well known experts describe the actions of different xanthines with a focus on caffeine and theophylline. A special chapter is devoted to theobromine, an active component of chocolate, the actions of which are less well characterized. This book also presents the pharmacology of one xanthine derivative, propentofylline, as an example of a xanthine that has gone through extensive development for a novel therapeutic area.
Microsomes, Drug Oxidations and Chemical Carcinogenesis V2
Microsomes, Drug Oxidations, and Chemical Carcinogenesis, Volume II, documents the proceedings of the 4th International Symposium on Microsomes and Drug Oxidations held in Ann Arbor, July 1979. The symposium reviewed progress in the understanding of scientific and biomedical problems from a biochemical, biophysical, pharmacological, and toxicological perspective. Volume I contained 117 contributions made by researchers at the symposium, which were organized into three sections (Sections I-III). This second volume contains 122 contributions, divided into four sections (Sections IV-VII). The papers on Section IV examine the metabolic fate of oxygenated compounds. Section V provides studies on ...
Studies in Natural Products Chemistry
Studies in Natural Products Chemistry, Volume 79 covers the synthesis, testing and recording of the medicinal properties of natural products, providing cutting-edge accounts of fascinating developments in the isolation, structure elucidation, synthesis, biosynthesis and pharmacology of a diverse array of bioactive natural products. Natural products in the plant and animal kingdom offer a huge diversity of chemical structures that are the result of biosynthetic processes that have been modulated over the millennia through genetic effects. With the rapid developments in spectroscopic techniques and accompanying advances in high-throughput screening techniques, it's possible to isolate and rapidly determine the structures and biological activity of natural products. - Focuses on the chemistry of bioactive natural products - Contains contributions by leading authorities in the field - Presents sources of new pharmacophores
Nicotine, Caffeine and Social Drinking: Behaviour and Brain Function
Often, people use nicotine, caffeine, and some level of alcohol in varying combinations at different times of the day in order to optimize their functioning and feelings of well-being, whether at work, in leisure time, or in a social context. However, until now, studies on the effects of this everyday practice have been diverse, widespread, and insufficiently summarized. Recently developed methods to study the effects in more detail have received little attention, especially among a nonscientific readership. Nicotine, Caffeine and Social Drinking focuses readers' attention on the effects of normal, socially accepted psychoactive substances on cognitive performance and on the brain. Divided into three sections, this book studies each substance individually before examining the effects of their combined usage.
Nutrition and Aging
Humanity is aging. In the last century, life expectancy has increased by as much as 25 years, the greatest increase in 5'000 years of history. As a consequence the elderly constitute today the fastest growing segment of the world's population. This new situation creates many social problems and challenges to health care which both the developed as well as the developing countries will have to cope with. The present publication shows that scientific progress has reached a level where nutritional interventions may play a decisive part in the prevention of degenerative conditions of age, improvement of quality of life and impact on health care burden and resources. Topics deal with such differe...
Science Fiction and Climate Change
This is a timely, comprehensiveand thoroughly researched study of climate fiction from around the world,including novels, short stories, films and other formats. Informed by a sociologicalperspective, it will be an invaluable resource for students and scholarslooking to enter and expand the field of climate fiction studies.
Again, Dangerous Visions: Essays in Cultural Materialism
Again, Dangerous Visions: Essays in Cultural Materialism brings together twenty-six essays charting the development of Andrew Milner’s distinctively Orwellian version of cultural materialism between 1981 and 2015. The essays address three substantive areas: the sociology of literature, cultural materialism and the cultural politics of the New Left, and utopian and science fiction studies. They are bookended by two conversations between Milner and his editor J.R. Burgmann, the first looking back retrospectively on the development of Milner’s thought, the second looking forward prospectively towards the future of academia, the political left and science fiction.
