Sustainable Use of Plants and Their Products in Neurodegenerative Diseases Management

Beschreibung

Neurodegenerative illnesses have negative impacts on the central and peripheral nervous system, which, in turn, affect brain health. Sustainable Use of Plants and Their Products in Neurodegenerative Diseases Management addresses the prevalence and pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases and the roles of phytoconstituents in mitigating the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. It provides a molecular understanding of the pathophysiology underpinning neurodegenerative diseases, the role of herbal/plant products and their phytoconstituents in the treatment of these diseases, and practical strategies to prevent these pathological conditions.

Features
Contains the latest molecular and cellular-based research findings on medicinal plants in brain health and neurodegenerative diseasesExplains practical strategies to prevent neurodegenerative diseases using medicinal plants and their phytoconstituents
Sustainable Use of Plants and Their Products in Neurodegenerative Diseases Management opens new research areas for academia and scientists; enhances student knowledge in pharmacognosy, medicine, pharmaceuticals, biomedical and biological sciences, and other related fields of studies; and enables traditional healers and clinicians to make recommendations for their neurological patients.
