High Calorie Diet and Human Brain

This book presents readers with comprehensive, cutting-edge information not only on the synthesis and degradation of glycerophospholipid-, sphingolipid-, and cholesterol-derived lipid mediators, but also their involvement in neurological disorders.

Diet and exercise have long been recognized as important components of a healthy lifestyle, as they have a great impact on improving cardiovascular and cerebrovascular functions, lowering the risk of metabolic disorders, and contributing to healthy aging.

This book presents readers with cutting edge and comprehensive information on the effect of diet, exercise and sleep on neuroinflammation and oxidative stress in normal brains and brains from patients with neurological disorders.

This volume provides a comprehensive description of phospholipid metabolism in brain, activities of phospholipases A2, and their involvement in neurological disorders.

This book offers comprehensive detail and cutting edge research on connections between metabolic syndrome and stroke, Alzheimer's disease and depression, benefiting postgraduate students, instructors, researchers, pharmacologists, nutritionists and physicians.

Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by chronic and progressive loss of neurons in discrete areas of the brain. This book presents cutting-edge, comprehensive information on the molecular aspects of acute neural trauma and neurodegenerative diseases.

This book expands on the status and therapeutic importance of n-3 fatty acids and their mediators in normal brains and those with neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. It also presents the benefits of n-3 fatty acids on the Western diet.

Glycerophospholipid and sphingolipid-derived lipid mediators facilitate the transfer of messages between cells as well as between subcellular organelles. This book gives readers a comprehensive description of their involvement in neurological disorders.

Information on bioactive ether lipids and their involvement in neurological disorders is currently scattered throughout the literature.

Leading researchers offer cutting-edge information on glutamate metabolism in the brain, examining the role of glutamate transporters and the involvement of glutamate receptors in the pathogenesis of acute neural trauma and neurodegenerative diseases.

This book offers comprehensive information on bioavailability and mechanism of action of phytochemicals in the brain, and traces the molecular mechanism associated with beneficial effects of phytochemicals in neurotraumatic and neurodegenerative diseases.
