From the pathophysiology of obesity and inflammation, to the molecular mechanisms of obesity induced chronic inflammation, the book discusses how obesity and inflammation interact with other diseases. It highlights the hidden risk factors of obesity induced chronic inflammation, provides specific patient management guidelines regarding the higher inflammatory response in patients, and concludes with new therapeutic strategies to address inflammation in obese patients.
- Identifies the hidden physiological changes that accompany obesity, while also highlighting the challenge of managing obesity with a higher inflammatory response
- Discusses major hidden health risks of inflammation that accompany obesity, as well as management guidelines for obese patients
- Links the pathophysiology of inflammation and obesity to the therapeutic strategies that minimizes risk factors, thus opening new areas of research
Physicians in the field of general surgery, plastic surgery, internal medicine, primary care, endocrinology, rheumatology, obesity medicine, cardiology, gastroenterology, neurology, nutritionists. PhD-students focusing on metabolism, obesity research (huge market) and oncology research in different areas are also primary target markets. Doctors of acupuncture, naturopaths, chiropractors that deal with inflammation and obesity are also a primary target market.
