Addressing cutting-edge areas of research regarding micronutrients and the brain, this book discusses the identification of specific micronutrients that support brain function and their molecular mechanisms underlying neuroprotectant activity. It covers age-related metabolic pathways, mitochondrial nutrients, and neurodegeneration. Additional chapters cover flavonoids, cell signaling, and neuronal functions as well as the role of choline, amino acids, metals, and other micronutrients in brain health and function. The text ...

Addressing cutting-edge areas of research regarding micronutrients and the brain, this book discusses the identification of specific micronutrients that support brain function and their molecular mechanisms underlying neuroprotectant activity. It covers age-related metabolic pathways, mitochondrial nutrients, and neurodegeneration. Additional chapters cover flavonoids, cell signaling, and neuronal functions as well as the role of choline, amino acids, metals, and other micronutrients in brain health and function. The text places a particular emphasis on lipoic acid, which is shown to be a therapeutic agent in neuropathologies.
