Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Metabolism is a comprehensive guide that delves into the intricate processes involved in the metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). The book covers the biochemistry, physiology, and molecular biology of PUFAs, providing a detailed overview of their roles in human health and disease.
The content of the book includes discussions on the sources of PUFAs, their absorption and transport in the body, and the enzymes and pathways involved in their metabolism. The authors explore the impact of PUFAs on various physiological processes, such as inflammation, cardiovascular health, and brain function.
Furthermore, the book examines the role of PUFAs in the development and progression of chronic diseases, including obesity, diabetes, and cancer. The authors also discuss the potential therapeutic applications of PUFAs in the prevention and treatment of these conditions.
Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Metabolism provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the current research and understanding of PUFAs and their impact on human health. It is a valuable resource for researchers, healthcare professionals, and students interested in lipid metabolism and its implications for health and disease.
