Mitochondrial medicine, a relatively new area, deals with diseases that are related to mitochondrial dysfunction due to a number of causes from free radical damage to genetic mutation. A primary feature of mitochondrial dysfunction is impaired cellular bioenergetics.
This book is based on extensive data gathered over 30 years of clinical and experimental research. In it, internationally recognized authors share their experience and state-of-the-art knowledge in various fields of their expertise such as mitochondrial cardiology, neurology, diabetology, nephrology, immunology, rheumatology, reproductive medicine, sports medicine, and chronobiology. They also guide readers through the disease process, from basic biochemical mechanisms to diagnosis to therapeutic aspects.
Mitochondrial Medicine is dedicated to Dr. Frederick L. Crane, discoverer of Coenzyme Q<SUB>10</SUB> in 1957 and to the celebration of the 50th year of its discovery. It is ideal for general medical practitioners, for specialists such as cardiologists, neurologists, and diabetologists, biochemists, nutritionists, pharmacists, and also for graduate students.
Written for: Physicians, practitioners and clinicians, post-graduates in neurology, cardiology, diabetology, nephrology, immunology, rheumatology, andrology, sports medicine
