Publisher's Synopsis
"Molecular Mechanisms of Hcy-Induced Neurotoxicity" by Bhavneet Kaur is an in-depth exploration of the molecular mechanisms underlying the neurotoxic effects of homocysteine (Hcy) on the brain. Hcy is an amino acid that is normally found in the body, but at high levels it can be toxic to neurons and contribute to neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and stroke.
The book provides a comprehensive overview of the current research on Hcy-induced neurotoxicity, including the molecular pathways involved in Hcy metabolism, the effects of Hcy on neurotransmitter systems, and the role of Hcy in oxidative stress and inflammation. The author also discusses the various animal models used to study Hcy-induced neurotoxicity and the potential therapeutic strategies for preventing or treating Hcy-related neurological disorders.
This book will be a valuable resource for researchers and clinicians in the fields of neuroscience, neurology, and molecular biology who are interested in understanding the mechanisms underlying Hcy-induced neurotoxicity and developing effective treatments for Hcy-related neurological disorders. With its clear and concise writing style, it will also be accessible to students and anyone interested in learning more about this important topic in neuroscience.
