Plant Bioactives as Natural Panacea against Age-Induced Diseases: Nutraceuticals and Functional Lead Compounds for Drug Development

Plant Bioactives as Natural Panacea Against Age-induced Diseases: Nutraceuticals and Functional Lead Compounds for Drug Development presents comprehensive information on the complications of aging and the bioactive phytochemicals that in specific herbal formulations, including beverages, can mitigate them. The book extensively describes the current information on the role of plant bioactive components in delaying or preventing the aging process and associated complications, while also covering different strategies and scientific evidence of possible synergistic effects of these studies, enabling the formulation of more effective natural drugs to intervene in aging and associated events. Chapters cover the broad areas of plant bioactive compounds in promoting healthy aging and longevity, including balancing glucose homeostasis, in cognitive impairments, age-related diseases, food trends and the anti-aging diet in Asia and other regions, as well as the social and economic impact of dietary patterns in aging interventions. Written by a team of global experts. Describes plant bioactives for specific age disorders Focuses on the discovery of new herbal origin drugs and potential druggable targets for the treatment of chronic diseases of world importance Includes cutting-edge research information on cell senescence during aging and assesses the plant bioactive compounds INDICE: 1.
