Gut Health and Metabolic Syndrome, Gebunden

Klappentext

This book integrates the latest advancements in biomedical science related to metabolic syndrome and microbiome research. It comprehensively covers a broad range of topics including composition and function of the gut microbiota in metabolic syndrome, mechanisms linking the gut microbiome to metabolic syndrome, dietary interventions, pharmacological approaches, exercise, lifestyle modifications, psychosocial factors, role of the gut microbiome in obesity and insulin resistance, and clinical applications and translational perspectives.

Despite significant research on metabolic syndrome, its risk factors, therapeutic interventions and the role of microbiome, there is still lack of recent updates and massive efforts are required to update the information on these topics with special emphasis on potential interventions targeting the gut microbiome to mitigate metabolic syndrome risk. This book focuses on leveraging the intricate relationship between the microbiome, gut health, and metabolic syndrome, including dysbiosis, inflammation, impaired gut barrier function, mechanisms through which the gut microbiome influences metabolic syndrome including host-microbiota interactions, microbial metabolites, and immune modulation to develop innovative interventions aimed at improving overall health outcomes. The purpose of this research is to explore microbiome-based interventions that can positively influence gut ecology and mitigate the risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome. By understanding how specific dietary interventions, probiotics, prebiotics, and other microbiome-targeted therapies can modulate the gut microbiome, this work aims to develop effective strategies for optimizing gut health and metabolic function.

Through interdisciplinary collaboration and cutting-edge research methodologies, this work strives to pave the way for personalized approaches to healthcare that prioritize the microbiome as a key determinant of overall health and well-being. The principal audience for this book comprises of pharmacologists, microbiologists, clinical pharmacists, and toxicologists.
