Nutrien-Drug Interactions
This book focuses on foods, herbals, and their chemical constituents as contributors to human health through control of metabolism, primarily as they relate to chronic disease development and treatment. The book's organization highlights the ailment being treated or prevented and the targets of therapy. Each chapter provides a comprehensive examination of the macronutrient, micronutrient, and phytochemical impact on drug action and includes advice on modification or supplementation in those casese where diet is a factor. Authors describe the roles genetic variation and polymorphism in determining nutrient/drug responses, how they might be "profiled" to identify those likely to demonstrate specific interactions, and who would benefit from adjuvant or complementary therapies. In content list has 9 chapter. Chapter 1 about diabtes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. Chapter 2 about hypolipidemic therapy: drugs, diet, and interactive effects. Chapter 3 about phytochemiclas, xenobiotic metabolism, and carcinogenesis. Chapter 4 about nutrient and phytochemical modulation of cancer treatment. Chapter 5 about role of nutritional antioxidants in the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. Chapter 6 about nutrients and herbals in the pharmacotherapy of unipolar/major depression. Chapter 7 about supplements and anesthesiology. Chapter 8 about nutrient and drug responsive polymorphic genes as nutrigenomic tools for prevention of cardiovascular disease and cancer. Chapter 9 about nutrigenomics and pharmacogenomics of human cancer: on the road from nutrigenetics and pharmacogenetics.
