The chemical and biochemical characteristics of these fatty acids and their metabolism to a vast array of potent bioactive messengers are described in the context of their potential effects on general health and impact on various diseases and neurological disorders. Glen D. Lawrence addresses in detail the capacity for polyunsaturated fatty acids to influence asthma, atherosclerosis, heart disease, inflammation, cancer, and immunity. Lawrence makes clear that our understanding of the biochemical and physiological effects of dietary fats has advanced tremendously as a result of careful research, but he also stresses that this knowledge has not easily translated into sound dietary recommendations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe dietary fat doctrine\u003cbr\u003e Lipid terminology, structure, and function\u003cbr\u003e Some dietary fats are essential\u003cbr\u003e Signals, messengers, and responses\u003cbr\u003e Oxidation and lipid peroxidation\u003cbr\u003e Atherosclerosis\u003cbr\u003e Risk factors in cardiovascular disease\u003cbr\u003e Lipid-lowering drugs\u003cbr\u003e Inflammation, anti-inflammatory drugs, and lipid mediators\u003cbr\u003e Cancer and immunity\u003cbr\u003e Neurological development, memory, and learning\u003cbr\u003e Functional disorders of the nervous system\u003cbr\u003e Neurodegenerative diseases\u003cbr\u003e Obesity : health consequences and dietary influences\u003cbr\u003e Dietary choices for comprehensive health\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52745040232728,"sku":"9780813554235","price":28.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-fats-of-life-essential-fatty-acids-in-health-and-disease-paperback-softback-9780813554235","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
