Fatty Acids in Health Promotion and Disease Causation

Fatty Acids in Health Promotion and Disease Causationfocuses on heart disease and the rolethat fatty acids can play in its preventionand causation. Itprovides information on special populations, Native Americans, stroke, and cardiac injuryas examples of areas where fatty acids play a key role. The book also discussesbody composition, diabetic disease, and health promotion, and actions after transformation by oxidation. It includes coverage offatty acids in health promotion and diseases such ascancer,intestinal microbes, andmembrane functions. Finally the actions of omega-3 fatty acids are extensively investigated by global experts.
