"This well-planned, logically structured and user-friendly book provides a useful insight into the world of non-enzymatic glycation from its early stages to an advanced level, with an eye on glycating agents, their enhancers and inhibitors. All chapters are of equal interest but the chapters on dietary AGEs and effects of AGEs on bone cells provide novelty in the area of glycation. These chapters also describe characterization of the glycation and its role in different types of age-related complications and diseases. A chapter on synthetic and plant-based natural inhibitors of glycation is also presented. Written by a team of experts, this book makes the readers aware of the glycation process in various diseases and complicates and creates enthusiasm in teaching key lessons to students of life and medical sciences. With the use of tables, figures and references, and a concise overview of the glycation mechanism and its inhibition on a single platform, this book is ideally suited as a resource for research and teaching purposes as well as contributes to knowledge of glycation inhibitors for controlling disease complications"--

The evidence is clear, a whole foods diet nourishes, protects, and satisfies the human body. It provides intact nutrients, fiber, antioxidants, and phytochemicals essential for optimal health. But there’s more to this optimal eating lifestyle than meets the eye. A Closer Look at Antinutrients in Food lets the reader discover how whole grains, nuts, seeds, legumes, and vegetables are also capable of wreaking havoc in the human body. Discover what antinutrients are, and how they function to potentially cause damage, nutritional imbalances, and deficiencies among other adverse health effects in the body of animals and humans. Whether you are a parent, student, healthcare provider, or into personal health, everyone should learn how to best deal with whole nutritious foods through easily applied kitchen rituals and home processing methods that minimizes antinutrients present in food to safely consume them in the diet daily. Reap the benefits of optimizing nutrient absorption and palatability through these traditional food preparation practices and learn how to select optimal whole food products to bring out the best in whole foods nature has to offer to us.

This book will explain to you why muscles are essential to good health and how to maximize your skeletal muscle health through exercise, diet, and appropriate nutritional supplements. The goal is to help you focus much more on your body composition and functional abilities rather than just your body weight. Unfortunately, people, including many health professionals often regard age-related muscle loss as a problem of the elderly. It's not. This book is to help anyone over the age of forty years understand the fundamental importance of their skeletal muscle to their overall wellbeing and successful aging. I often call the forties the forgotten years, where people fully occupied with multiple commitments can often lose sight of their health. Rest assured, the principles in this book apply to people of any age! By applying the recommendations in this book, you will be stronger, healthier, and wiser.

The fractionation of human blood plasma can be considered to be a mature industry, with the basic technology, alcohol fractionation, dating back at least to the 1940s. Many of the products described in the current work have been approved biologics since the 1950s. The information gathered from the development of plasma proteins has proved vital to the development of recombinant therapeutic proteins. Discussing the role of plasma proteins in current biotechnology, Biotechnology of Plasma Proteins describes the protein composition of human plasma, the fractionation of plasma to obtain therapeutic proteins, and the analysis of these products. It delineates the path from plasma products to recombinant products, and highlights products from albumin, intravenous immunoglobins, and coagulation. It offers a comprehensive review of current techniques for the analysis of proteins including electrophoresis, chromatography, spectrophotometry, mass spectrometry, and updates not published since 1975. Key Topics Protein Composition of Plasma Proteomic methods for plasma protein analysis Plasma protein biomarkers Validation of biomarkers Assays for plasma biomarkers Methods for the Analysis of Protein Products Assay development and validation Electrophoresis Chromatography Immunoassay Mass spectrometry Raman spectroscopy Plasma Fractionation: Historical and Modern Methods Development of Cohn alcohol fractionation Industrial methods Development of chromatographic methods Plasma Protein Products of Therapeutic Value Albumin Intravenous immunoglobulin Coagulation products Growth factors Wound management
