Naturally occurring bioactive compounds are ubiquitous in most dietary plants available to humans and provide opportunities for the management of diseases. The text provides information about the major causes of these diseases and their association with nutrition. The text also covers the role of dietary phytochemicals in drug development and their pathways. Later chapters emphasize novel bioactive compounds as anti-diabetic, anti-cancer and anti-obesity agents and describe their mechanisms to regulate cell metabolism. Written by global team of experts, Dietary Phytochemicals: A Source of Novel Bioactive Compounds for the Treatment of Obesity, Cancer and Diabetes describes the potentials of novel phytochemicals, their sources, and underlying mechanism of action. The chapters were drawn systematically and incorporated sequentially to facilitate proper understanding. This book is intended for nutritionists, physicians, medicinal chemists, drug developers in research and development, postgraduate students and scientists in area of nutrition and life sciences. 606 $aBotany 606 $aFood science 606 $aCancer$xPrevention 606 $aNutrition 606 $aPlant Science 606 $aFood Science 606 $aCancer Prevention 606 $aNutrition 615 0$aBotany. 615 0$aFood science. 615 0$aCancer$xPrevention. 615 0$aNutrition. 615 14$aPlant Science. 615 24$aFood Science. 615 24$aCancer Prevention. 615 24$aNutrition. 676 $a615.321 702 $aEgbuna$b Chukwuebuka 702 $aHassan$b Sadia 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495214003321 996 $aDietary phytochemicals$92853119 997 $aUNINA
