Antioxidants in Food, Vitamins and Supplements bridges the gap between books aimed at consumers and technical volumes written for investigators in antioxidant research. It explores the role of oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of various diseases as well as antioxidant foods, vitamins, and all antioxidant supplements, including herbal supplements. It offers healthcare professionals a rich resource of key clinical information and basic scientific explanations relevant to the development and prevention of specific diseases. The book is written at an intermediate level, and can be easily understood by readers with a college level chemistry and biology background.

Zielgruppe

<p>Primary: health care professionals including practicing physicians, resident physicians, nurse practitioners and pharmacists; Secondary: pathologists, clinical chemists and toxicologists will also buy the book because these health care professionals are interested in developing laboratory tests.</p>
