Environmental Stressors And OxInflammatory Tissues Responses (PDF)

by Giuseppe Valacchi (Author)
 

Environmental risk factors – noise, air pollution, chemical agents, and ultraviolet radiation –  impact human health by contributing to the onset and progression of noncommunicable diseases. Accordingly, there is need for preclinical and clinical studies and comprehensive summary of major findings. This book is a state-of-the-art summary of these myriad severe life stressors. The chapters on the different pollutants focus on disease mechanisms (cardiovascular, neurological and metabolic disorders) and on oxidative stress and inflammation. The editors emphasize emerging mechanisms based on dysregulation of the circadian clock, the microbiome, epigenetic pathways, and cognitive function by environmental stressors, and introduce the exposome concept while highlighting existing research gaps.
Key Features:
Links various environmental stressors to the incidence of noncommunicable diseasesIncludes chapters on airborne toxins, chemical pollutants, noise, and ultraviolet radiation stressorsContributions from an international team of leading researchersSummarizes the impacts of stressors on disease mechanisms
