Flavonoids, Inflammation And Cancer@By: Hollie Swanson@Publisher: @WSPC@Print ISBN: 9789814651936, 9814651931@eText ISBN: 9789814651950, 9814651958@Pages: 212@Format: EPUB@Available from $ 41.00 USD@SKU: 9789814651950 This book provides an insightful analysis of the chemopreventive actions of flavonoids. Flavonoids are naturally occurring constituents of plants that have been traditionally used as anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer medicines. In addition, human consumption of vegetables and fruits with high concentrations of flavonoids is associated with decreased cancer mortalities rates.@Flavonoids, Inflammation and Cancer presents an in-depth analysis of the mechanisms by which flavonoids are thought to prevent inflammation and the development of GI and steroid-responsive cancers. In addition, the promise and pitfalls associated with using flavonoids as chemopreventive agents are discussed.@This book is an invaluable reference for basic and clinical scientists who are interested in exploring the link between nutrition and cancer.@ContentsIntroduction to Flavonoids and Chemoprevention@Mechanisms by Which Flavonoids Exert Their Beneficial Anti-cancer Effects@Flavonoids and the Inflammatory Response@Flavonoids and Cancers of the Gastrointestinal Tract@Flavonoids and Steroid-responsive Cancers@Summary and Future Directions@@Readership: Researchers in the pharmaceutical industry, cancer researchers, immunologists, biochemists, natural product researchers.@Key FeaturesLinks the biochemical properties of flavonoids to the events associated with the carcinogenic process@Examines both the promise and pitfalls associated with the potential use of flavonoids as chemopreventive therapies@The results obtained from clinical and preclinical (in vitro and in vivo) studies are compared and contrasted Download now: https://ouo.io/oMgQrE
