Metabolic Syndrome

This book offers comprehensive detail and cutting edge research on connections between metabolic syndrome and stroke, Alzheimer's disease and depression, benefiting postgraduate students, instructors, researchers, pharmacologists, nutritionists and physicians.

Metabolic syndrome as an important risk factor for stroke, Alzheimer disease, and depression presents readers with cutting edge and comprehensive information on relationship among metabolic syndrome, stroke, Alzheimer disease, and depression. It is hoped that this monograph will be useful to postgraduate students, faculty, research scientists, pharmacologists, nutritionists, and physicians, who are curious about the molecular mechanisms that link metabolic syndrome with stroke, Alzheimer disease, and depression.
