  • English
"Anti-Obesity Drug Development: Physiology, Pharmacology and Drug Delivery" is a complete reference for pharmaceutical researchers in this key area of research and clinical development. The contents of the book are organized in four parts. The first provides an overview of the foundations and historical development of anti-obesity drugs, including extensive discussion of comorbidities and how they impact drug activity and efficacy. Part two is dedicated to the drug targets involved in the progression of obesity treatment. These include GLPRI and GIPR agonists, Incretin/Glucagon, RM-493 and Liraglutide, Pramlintide and metreleptin, Growth Hormone, FXR and GPR131, and the Gut Microbiota. Part three discusses the most common drugs available in the market and their pharmacological parameters. The final part of the book covers all natural products known to have scientific evidence on the treatment of obesity. "Anti-Obesity Drug Development: Physiology, Pharmacology and Drug Delivery" is the perfect reference for pharmacology researchers and those involved in new drug development both in academic and corporate environments. Research-physicians, endocrinologists, and nutritionists will also benefit from the comprehensive overview of treatments covered in this book.

Chemical Receptor Sensory Systems

  • 1st Edition
  • April 1, 2025
  • Kyle Palmer
  • English
Chemical Receptor Sensory Systems explores chemosenses through the lens of pharmacologic theory, and how chemosensory systems, from the molecular level to the behavior of organisms, must behave given that their operations are functions of receptor pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics. Throughout the book, information on concentration-dependence of chemical stimulation and likely relationship to receptor occupancy is strongly emphasized. In cases where a departure from expected pharmacologic behavior is encountered in the chemosenses, the discussion is directed toward probable explanations for the apparent disconnect. This book provides a new resource that on all chemosenses topics within a unifying conceptual framework of the science of pharmacology. It will be useful to a variety of researchers and graduate students in pharmacology, biology and physiology of sensory systems, researchers in sensory psychology, research scientists in food & nutritional scientists, as well as clinical staff.

Handbook of Intervention Science

  • 1st Edition
  • April 1, 2025
  • Laura N.Gitlin + 1 more
  • English
Intervention science is increasingly recognized as an important for improving psychological and physical health while decreasing health disparities. Most books in the area begin with the premise of having a well-developed intervention to be disseminated. This book begins with how to develop that impactful intervention, and then how to evaluate, and disseminate it. The book discusses multiple approaches for developing and advancing interventions at the individual, family, community, health system, and policy level. It focuses on creating interventions suitable for diverse populations racially, ethnically, geographically, and socioeconomically. Combining best practices with a practical approach, the book enables readers to advance their intervention research. The book covers intervention design, data capture in trials, and evaluation, Decision trees highlight when to move forward with an implementation relative to needing further work..

Curcumin Bioavailability and Sustainability as Therapeutic Agent

  • 1st Edition
  • March 1, 2025
  • Mahmood Ahmed + 1 more
  • English
Curcumin Bioavailability and Sustainability as Therapeutic Agent: Strategies for Sustained Release Curcumin is a comprehensive reference on techniques to enhance the bioavailability of curcumin, while also covering sustainability aspects across its production cycle. This book focuses on the information needs of pharmaceutical scientists aiming at developing drug delivery systems and formulations that can maximize the therapeutic impact of curcumin drugs. After an introduction to curcumin therapeutic properties, the authors delve into the bioavailability challenges confronted by curcumin, discussing influencing factors, pharmacokinetic pathways, and formulations to augment its bioaccessibility. Chapter 3 explores innovative formulation paradigms, encompassing nanoparticle-based delivery systems and lipidic matrices, tailored to overcome solubility limitations and increase absorptive efficacy. Chapter 4 covers delivery systems, encompassing prodrug strategies, encapsulation modalities, and nanocarrier technologies. Chapter 5 investigates sustainable sourcing and production, raising awareness to ethical cultivation practices, eco-friendly extraction methodologies, and proficient waste management techniques within curcumin production processes. In Chapter 6 discusses balancing bioavailability augmentation with sustainability principles including case studies. Chapter 7 navigates the domain of pharmacokinetic studies and clinical trials, providing an overview of bioaccessibility and bioavailable formulations. Chapter 8 explores safety profiles, regulatory requirements, and quality benchmarks, encompassing product labeling and claims concerning curcumin's bioavailability and sustainability. Chapter 9 casts a future view contemplating nascent technologies for bioavailability and sustainability optimization. The final chapter concludes the book with the author's observations on its central themes. Curcumin Bioavailability and Sustainability as Therapeutic Agent: Strategies for Sustained Release Curcumin provides practical strategies to be explored by pharmaceutical scientists in increasing bioavailability of curcumin formulations. Research physicians and nutritionists may also benefit from the evidence-based information on curcumin's therapeutic activities provided across the book.
