Opis

This handbook provides an all-inclusive insight into biomarkers assessing the impact of nutrition on human health. The reader will gain insight into the area of circulating body fluid biomarkers, from cardiovascular related markers to liver functional tests. Various biomarkers related to the intake of micronutrient and macronutrients are presented, and the effects of different diets, pesticide exposure and dietary supplements are discussed, so are changes of genetic, cellular and histological variables.This systematic handbook is a must have for biomedical researchers as well as clinicians and pharmacologists, who wish to gain extensive understanding on the analysis of effects of various nutritional and dietary effects on human health, ageing and longevity.

O autorze

Vinood B. Patel, BSc, PhD, FRSC, is a Reader in Clinical Biochemistry at the University of Westminster.  Dr Patel graduated from the University of Portsmouth with a degree in Pharmacology and completed his PhD in protein metabolism from King’s College London in 1997. His postdoctoral work was carried out at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical School studying structural-functional alterations to mitochondrial ribosomes, where he developed novel techniques to characterize their biophysical properties. In 2014, he was elected as a Fellow to The Royal Society of Chemistry. Dr Patel is a nationally and internationally recognized researcher and was involved in several NIH-funded biomedical grants related to disease. Dr Patel has extensively published biomedical books in the area of diet, biomarkers, toxicology, nutrition and health prevention. 

Victor R. Preedy PhD, DSc, FRSC, FRSB, FRSPH, FRCPath is Professor of Clinical Biochemistry and Pathology in King’s College Hospital and Emeritus Professor of Nutritional Biochemistry in King’s College London. Professor Preedy graduated in 1974 with a Combined Honours Degree in Biology and Physiology with Pharmacology. He gained his Ph.D. in 1981, in the field of nutrition and metabolism, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, University of London. His second doctorate was awarded for his work on protein metabolism, with a focus on toxicity.   Professor Preedy is a Fellow to four Royal Colleges and has published over 700 articles, including abstracts, peer-reviewed works, reviews and books.
