The book presents the treatment of metabolic diseases using phytonutrients, the key regulatory mechanisms of phytonutrients in metabolic pathways, and evaluates phytonutrients as a source of new drug candidate molecules. The book compiles and evaluates the very latest findings and therapeutic developments in the management of various metabolic disorders, their underlying mechanisms, and the clinical potential and limitations of phytonutrients. Thirteen chapters illustrate the therapeutic potential of phytonutrients in the management of various metabolic disorders through the regulation of signaling pathways.
- Supports the therapeutic potential of phytonutrients in the management of metabolic disorders
- Details the regulatory mechanisms of phytonutrients in metabolic pathways
- Considers phytonutrients as a source of new drug candidate molecules
