Présentation de l'éditeur
Aging: Oxidative Stress and Dietary Antioxidants bridges the trans-disciplinary divide and covers in a single volume the science of oxidative stress in aging and the potentially therapeutic use of natural antioxidants in the diet or food matrix. The processes within the science of oxidative stress are described in concert with other processes, such as apoptosis, cell signaling, and receptor mediated responses. This approach recognizes that diseases are often multifactorial, and oxidative stress is a single component of this.
Gerontologists, geriatricians, nutritionists, and dieticians are separated by divergent skills and professional disciplines that need to be bridged in order to advance preventative as well as treatment strategies. While gerontologists and geriatricians may study the underlying processes of aging, they are less likely to be conversant in the science of nutrition and dietetics. On the other hand, nutritionists and dietitians are less conversant with the detailed clinical background and science of gerontology. This book addresses this gap and brings each of these disciplines to bear on the processes inherent in the oxidative stress of aging.
- Nutritionists can apply information related to mitochondrial oxidative stress in one disease to diet-related strategies in another unrelated disease
- Dietitians can prescribe new foods or diets containing anti-oxidants for conditions resistant to conventional pharmacological treatments
- Dietitians, after learning about the basic biology of oxidative stress, will be able to suggest new treatments to their multidisciplinary teams
- Nutritionists and dietitians will gain an understanding of cell signaling and be able to suggest new preventative or therapeutic strategies with anti-oxidant rich foods
Biographie de l'auteur
Professor Victor R. Preedy, PhD DSc CBiol FIBiol FRCPath FRIPH FRSH FRSPH is currently a Professor in the Department of Dietetics, King's College London and Honorary Professor in Clinical Biochemistry, King's College Hospital and Director of the Genomics Centre, Kings College London. He directs studies regarding nutrition, and clinical biochemistry. Professor Preedy graduated in 1974 from the University of Aston with a Combined Honours Degree in Biology and Physiology with Pharmacology. He gained his PhD in 1981, in the field of Nutrition and Metabolism, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, University of London. Between 1988 until 1999 he was associated with the Department of Clinical Biochemistry at King's College Hospital. He was a Reader in Clinical Biochemistry between 1992 and 2002. In 1992, he received his Membership of the Royal College of Pathologists, based on his published works and in 1993 he gained a DSc degree for his outstanding contribution to protein metabolism. At the time, he was one of the university's youngest recipients of this distinguished award. Professor Preedy was elected as a Fellow to the Royal College of Pathologists in 2000. Since then he has been elected as a Fellow to the Royal Society for the Promotion of Health (2004), The Royal Institute of Public Health (2004) and The Royal Society of Public Health (2009). Professor Preedy has published over 550 articles, which includes over 160 peer-reviewed manuscripts based on original research and 90 reviews as well as 35 books or volumes.

"Let Food be thy Medicine!"
A very sobering and constructive book, particularly for those of us who - like me - are "nearer the end, rather than the beginning" of one's life.
AGING's text is primarily addressed to science professionals (like dietitians). However, ordinary citizens - including seniors (like me) - can profit from reading this somewhat arcane book, containing technical language. For seniors, this may require courage - as it did for me (grossly belated dietary realizations!).
AGING's chapters are authored by a host of different scholarly experts. Seniors can utilize AGING's important, and perhaps sometimes disturbing, information, to enhance or preserve the quality of one's life. Seniors can "take charge" of their own biology and physiology, in large part, by focusing on one's personal nutrition.
Parenthetically, Dr. Henry S. Lodge states in his DVD entitled YOUNGER NEXT YEAR, THE NEW SCIENCE OF AGING, that there is nothing "natural" about most peoples' common view of "aging" as being an inevitable physiological decline - which Dr. Lodge pointedly defines as "decay" rather than as "aging." There are things people can actively do to maintain one's personal quality of life, and to even REVERSE physical decline (or decay) which has already occurred. AGING: OXIDATIVE STRESS AND DIETARY ANTIOXIDANTS, can assist seniors to further that goal, by dietary means.
The people in Dr. Henry Lodge's studio audience might be the type of ordinary people who would be interested in reading AGING: see, e.g., the Q&A period following the main DVD program..
Maybe most seniors would never read AGING, but I believe others will, can, and should, and those seniors who do, can act as apostles to the rest of the senior citizen community - If not to read this book, then to dispense its information.
AGING can assist seniors in "taking charge" of their lives by arming seniors with information that will help seniors interact with, e.g., their physicians and other health workers, or people involved in food preparation in their retirement community.
There is another (and longer - 394 pp) book in this "series," entitled INFLAMMATION, ADVANCING AGE AND NUTRITION: RESEARCH AND CLINICAL INTERVENTIONS, which also focuses on nutrition in the context of "aging," but which I have not yet obtained, but for which I have great expectations.
If you think the foregoing books are expensive, then take a look at the size of your medical bills (or prospective medical bills), or at your insurance premium rates, or - better yet - at the QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE.
