Inflammation and Obesity: A New and Novel Approach to Manage Obesity and its Consequences is a comprehensive and up-to-date exploration of the correlation between obesity and inflammation. 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
