"It's rare to find an academic book as engaging as this one. While clearly focused on a specific disease entity, the magnitude of the metabolic disease epidemic coupled with the comprehensive review of the topic this book delivers, should make it interesting reading to a diverse audience." (Doody's, 3 February 2012) "This excellent book must be considered the flagship text in the Wiley series encompassing obesity, diabetes and insulin resistance." (Practical Diabetes, 2011) "In all, the text provides a valuable summary of current knowledge, and it may even convince doubters of the existence of the metabolic syndrome! The information that is provided will be of considerable interest to both applied scientists and clinicians who study and treat the epidemics of physical inactivity and obesity that currently afflict so many countries." (Faculty of Physical Education & Health, 2011)
The Metabolic Syndrome is a valuable reference text, covering all aspects of the metabolic syndrome and its constituent diseases including inflammation, oxidation and adipocytokines. This book explains the aetiology, pathogenesis and clinical treatment of all risk factors as well as the relationship with diabetes, non alcoholic fatty liver disease, polycystic ovary syndrome and coronary heart disease. The Metabolic Syndrome has been further improved from the 1st edition that was highly commended in 2006 Annual British Medical Association medical books competition. All chapters from the first edition are fully updated and this new edition contains an increase in international contributions and five new chapters on: This brand new edition of The Metabolic Syndrome will be an indispensable resource for all clinical researchers, physicians and scientists requiring detailed up-to-date information on the metabolic syndrome to further their own research or to treat and manage the syndrome and its complications. Specifically, the text will be of particular relevance to those involved and working in the fields of diabetes, endocrinology, obesity, cardiology, vascular disease and hepatology.
