Adipose Tissue and Inflammation: Oxidative Stress and Disease
Editat de Atif B. Awad, Peter G. Bradforden Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 oct 2009
Bringing together the research and findings of leading experts from across the world, Adipose Tissue and Inflammation focuses on the contribution of adipose tissue to local and systemic inflammation. Demonstrating the endocrine like nature of adipose tissue, this book—
- Looks at the direct relation between adipokines and inflammation
- Examines the role of adipose secreted hormones as mediators of inflammation
- Details the inflammatory actions of adiponectin, leptin, and resistin
- Discusses insulin and dietary fatty acids as modulators of inflammation

Descriere
Obesity leads to a host of pathologies, including cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome. Central to all of these pathologies is the concept that obesity produces chronic inflammation. Featuring contributions from international experts in the fields of adiposity, inflammation, adipokines, and pharmaconutrition, this book focuses on the effects of obesity on systemic inflammation. The text addresses the epidemiology of obesity-induced inflammation, the adipokine mediators that link adipose tissue to inflammation, the influence of hormones on adipose inflammation, and the roles of nutrients, lifestyles, and pharmacotherapy in reducing inflammation and obesity.
