Membrane Lipidomics for Personalized Health

Membrane Lipidomics for Personalized Health Care uses a simple and practical approach to outline the basics of lipidomics and its relationships with health and nutrition. Due to the huge presence of nutraceuticals in the market, this is an increasingly important topic since it gives personalized criteria on how to choose the right nutraceutical strategy for prevention and quality of life. The book consists of two parts: the first part presents basic knowledge on lipidomics, focused on the biochemical and nutritional topics, the second part familiarizes the reader with the use of membrane lipidomic diagnostics in practical health care, either in prevention and pathologies, in order to individuate the nutraceutical/nutritional strategy to be assigned in a personalized way to the patient. This book focuses on nutraceutical and personalised health care that will be beneficial to biologists, biochemists and medical researchers as well as health care professionals, pharmacists, nutritionists and nurses seeking comprehensive information on the topic.
