Inhaltsangabe

A comprehensive review of the impact of dietary nutraceuticals on platelet function and its relationship to cardiovascular disease 

Nutraceuticals and Human Blood Platelet Function offers a summary of the most current evidence on the effects of anti-platelet factors isolated mainly from food and natural sources, their structure function relationship, bioavailability, mechanisms of actions, and also information on human trials data.  The author―a noted expert in the field― explores platelet function and their roles in development of CVD, functional foods and bioactive compounds in CVD risk factors. The author highlights platelets, their mechanisms of actions, data from epidemiological studies, structure-function relationship clinical trial data, ex vivo and in vitro data.

This important resource will focus primarily on human studies and emphasize functional and physiological implications of the nutritional impact on platelet function and CVD that could be an important approach to highlight the concept of preventive CVD nutrition. An authoritative text, Nutraceuticals and Human Blood Platelet Function:

• Offers a unique resource that connects nutrition with platelet function and its impact on cardiovascular disease
• Contains an evidenced-based approach, including data from human and animal clinical studies
• Reveals the impact of bioactive compounds and their effect on platelets
• Presents a text that is authored by an expert with vast experience in the field of nutrition and platelet function

Written for professionals, academics, researchers, and students associated in the area of nutrition, Nutraceuticals and Human Blood Platelet Function offers a review of the most current research on the effects of platelet function and their roles in development of CVD, functional foods and bioactive compounds in CVD risk factors.

A Comprehensive Review of the Impact of Dietary Nutraceuticals on Platelet Function and Its Relationship to Cardiovascular Disease

Nutraceuticals and Human Blood Platelet Function collates the latest research on platelet behavior and naturally sourced anti-platelet factors, and explores these topics within the context of cardiovascular health. Written by a leading expert in food science and nutrition, it authoritatively examines the functional and physiological roles of nutrition in the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and grounds its findings in data from epidemiological studies and ex vivo and in vivo clinical trials.

The author provides detailed explanations of the role of platelet function in CVD development, with anti-platelet factors, functional foods, and their bioactive compounds assessed as they relate to CVD risk factor reduction. Covering structure-function relationships, bioavailability, mechanisms of action, and more, this in-depth exploration:

• Connects nutrition with platelet function and its impact on cardiovascular disease
• Identifies functional foods and outlines the impact of their bioactive compounds upon platelets
• Takes an evidence-based approach, with data drawn from human and animal studies
• Is authored by an expert with many years' experience in the field of food science

Suitable for professionals, academics, researchers, and students alike, Nutraceuticals and Human Blood Platelet Function offers essential and up-to-date insights into platelet function, cardiovascular health, and the preventative capabilities of dietary and nutritional factors.
