Trace Elements in Brain Health and Diseases (Nutritional Neurosciences) (PDF Book)
By Wael Mohamed, Rajat Sandhir
This book reviews the role of trace elements in brain development, function, metabolism, and neurodegenerative disorders. It explores the molecular mechanisms of the effects of trace elements on metabolic pathways, mitochondrial nutrients, neurodegeneration, Central Nervous System (CNS) disorders, cell signaling, and neuronal functions. The book also discusses transport mechanisms of trace elements within the CNS and their impact on neurotransmitter biology. Furthermore, it examines the deleterious effects caused by dyshomeostasis of trace elements in the central nervous system (CNS), resulting in damage to neurons and glial cells through the generation of reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress, leading to neurodegeneration and neurological dysfunction. The book also explores the potential role of trace element deficiency in psychiatric disorders, including depression, and the effects of trace element imbalance on neuronal genomic stability.
