Medicinal Foods as Potential Therapies for Type-2 Diabetes and Associated Diseases: The Chemical and Pharmacological Basis of their Action focuses on active pharmacological principles that modulate diabetes, associated risk factors, complications and the mechanism of action of widely used anti-diabetic herbal plants—rather than just the nutritional composition of certain foods. The book provides up-to-date information on acclaimed antidiabetic super fruits, spices and other food ingredients. Sections cover diabetes and obesity at the global level, the physiological control of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, the pathophysiology of type-2 diabetes, the chemistry and pharmacology of a variety of spices, and much more. This book will be invaluable for research scientists and students in the medical and pharmaceutical sciences, medicinal chemistry, herbal medicine, drug discovery/development, nutrition science, and for herbal practitioners and those from the nutraceutical and pharm industries.

Obra que acompaña al texto del mismo autor, "Brenner y Stevens, Farmacología básica 5ª ed" y que se presenta como una perfecta herramienta de aprendizaje en el campo de la farmacología en el que el proceso de memorización es muy importante, dado la gran cantidad de nombres, estructuras y propiedades a recordar. Gracias a su presentación y formato lo convierten en el recurso ideal para el estudiante que puede consultarlo en cualquier momento, incluso aprovechando los desplazamientos, favoreciendo su uso tanto como herramienta de estudio como de repaso. Se presentan un total de 500 Flashcards a todo color en una caja contenedora con el mismo diseño que el libro de referencia. Se organizan por categoría farmacológica agrupándose en XV secciones en función del sistema de órganos sobre el que actúan y su uso terapéutico. Cada sección tiene un color diferente y se inicia con un listado por orden alfabético de los fármacos que se tratan en ella, acompañado de una breve información general sobre su mecanismo de actuación que, por lo general, incluye una tabla o figura explicativa. Hay que destacar que, al igual que se ha hecho en el libro de referencia, se han eliminado todos los nombres comerciales de medicamentos y siempre que se haga referencia a fármacos se considera el correspondiente principio  Cada una de las flashcards contiene información sobre un sólo fármaco. En la parte frontal se recoge el nombre del principio activo, la referencia cruzada al libro y en los casos en que es conveniente, un pequeño esquema de su acción farmacológica. En el dorso aparece de forma sistemática la siguiente información: clase terapéutica, clase farmacológica, mecanismo de acción, uso clínico, consideraciones especiales, efectos adversos e interacciones. Al final de todo se cita si hay algún principio activo similar y si éste tiene su propia carta se marca en letra negrita.  Incluye acceso a SC.com en el que pueden encontrarse los siguientes recursos: 30 flashcard adicionales y 10 cuadros con las características comparativas de diferentes principios activos que actúen sobre el mismo sistema de órganos.
