Antidiabetic Medicinal Plants: Applications and Opportunities presents new developments that are impacting the use of plants to address diabetic conditions. Presenting multiple perspectives on these plants, their identification, cultivation and application, this book presents the state-of-the-art with an eye toward the future. Presented in five parts, the book first provides an overview of plants with antidiabetic properties, then moves to the agricultural practices for the cultivation and production of those plants. Part Three focuses on the chemical composition and phytochemicals of the plants before then moving into a study of the physiological, biotechnological, and molecular approaches to optimizing these plants.The book concludes with insights into current and potential future medical and clinical applications, making it ideal for those seeking to understand the biology and chemistry of plants with anti-diabetic properties and their effective development and application.

Neuropsychiatric Disorders and Epigenetics, Second Edition is a comprehensive reference on the epigenetic basis of common neuropsychiatric disorders. The volume is organized into chapters covering individual neuropsychiatric disorders, from addiction to anxiety and autism spectrum disorders, and is contributed by leading experts in their respective fields. The epigenetic aspects of each disorder are discussed in the context of the full range of associated epigenetic mechanisms, including DNA modification, histone post-translational modification, chromatin organization, and non-coding RNA. A particular emphasis is placed on potential epigenetic interventions when the effects of environmental stimuli on epigenetic states is particularly relevant to disease. This new edition has been fully updated to reflect recent research advances enabled by genomic technologies, as well as therapeutic interventions for previously unmanageable disorders. Several new chapters have been added on disorders or approaches not considered in the earlier edition, including epigenetics and anxiety disorders, epigenetics and neuroimaging in neuropsychiatric disorders, genome-wide approaches to epigenetic research, and the epigenetics of spinal muscular atrophy.
