Since the creation of the Amercian Board of Clinical Lipidology, many clinicians have wanted an up-to-date, comprehensive reference on lipidology. Now, for the first time, clinicians can find such a reference in Therapeutic Lipidology. This volume will provide practicing clinicians with a focused and intense yet useable source of information on the identification and management of dyslipidemias. Among the topics discussed are lipoprotein metabolism, pharmacological therapy for cardiovscular disease, thiazolidinedione effects on serum lipoproteins, hypertriglyceridemia, dyslipidemia and obesity, dyslipidemia in children, and much more.

This volume is an innovative approach to the identification and management of lipid disorders. Organized as a series of questions, each chapter presents a detailed yet accessible discussion of the problems posed. The questions discussed are among the most frequently encountered at both primary care and specialty conferences throughout the world. Carefully weighing the risks and benefits of specific therapies, the ensuing discourse presents a fair, balanced approach to conceptual controversies as well as exploring the diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas that may arise. This book is designed for the busy clinical practitioner who is in search of authoritative discussion that is balanced by evidence-based, best practice recommendations. It is intended as a resource for practitioners of primary care, cardiology and endocrinology. Clinical Challenges in Lipid Disorders (Amazon USA)
This book is an updated version of the original Diacylglycerol Oil (2004). It reviews the metabolism and health effects of diacylglycerol, of special interest to dietitians, physicians, and public health professionals, as obesity and the metabolic disorders caused by obesity are growing global problems. The safety and regulatory information will be helpful resources for all professionals. Also included is a discussion on the physicochemical properties and application technologies of diacylglycerol oil. Other individuals who will be interested in this book are food scientists, food technologists and process engineers. Diacyglycerol Oil (Amazon USA)
Phytochemcial Functional Foods, covers the health effects of selected phytochemicals, as well as the functional benefits of particular groups of phytochemicals such as phytoestrogens, carotenoids and flavonoids. It covers key safety and quality issues in developing phytochemical products, instituting appropriate intake levels, testing for safety, and establishing health claims through clinical trials.

Phytochemicals as Bioactive Agents focuses on the mechanisms of action of phytochemicals identified as displaying bioactivity in the prevention of cancer, heart disease and other diseases, and the prospects for developing functional foods containing these bioactive compounds. An internationally recognized group of experts presents the latest research findings on the antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic effects of tea and tea constituents; chemoprevention provided by plants in the family Cruciferae and genus Allium by altering carcinogen metabolism; anticarcinogenic effects of carotenoids and curcumins; the chemistry and application of alfalfa saponins; the bioactive components of rice bran and rice oil; the effects of garlic on lowering serum cholesterol; and using phytochemicals to optimize gastrointestinal tract health and function. Also included are chapters on: strategies to identify bioactive phytochemicals in foods; the design, conduct and interpretation of clinical trials to test phytochemicals for expected bioactivity; compounds that have potential use as phytochemical antimicrobial agents in food processing; and designing bioactive functional foods. This book will be of interest to food scientists and technologists, food process engineers, biochemists, dietitians, public health professionals, and entrepreneurs involved in the design, processing, and marketing of new functional food products.
