The Benefits of Natural Products for Neurodegenerative Diseases

Beschreibung

Focuses on the effects of natural products and their active components on brain function and neurodegenerative disease prevention. Phytochemicals such as alkaloids, terpenes, flavanoids, isoflavones, saponins etc are known to possess protective activity against many neurological diseases. The molecular mechanisms behind the curative effects rely mainly on the action of phytonutrients on distinct signaling pathways associated with protein folding and neuro-inflammation. The diverse array of bioactive nutrients present in these natural products plays a pivotal role in prevention and cure of various neurodegenerative diseases, disorders, or insults, such as Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, Huntington's Disease, traumatic brain injury, and other neuronal dysfunctions. However, the use of these antioxidants in the management of neurodegenerative conditions has so far been not well understood. This is a comprehensive collection addressing the effects on the brain of natural productsand edible items such as reservatrol, curcumin, gingerol, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and marine products.

Rezensionen

"This is a collection of papers on the use of natural products for a variety of neurodegenerative diseases. The purpose is to validate the use of natural products for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. The objectives are worthy as there is a need for clinicians and researchers to consider the value of safer natural products for treatment. ... written primarily for researchers, but it is also useful for clinicians. It is an attempt to spur further research into natural products." (Paul Joseph Ratte, Doody's Book Reviews, December, 2016)
