Om denne e-bog

Heavy Metal Toxicity and Neurodegeneration delves into the intricate relationship between heavy metals and neurodegenerative diseases. It synthesizes and presents the latest research findings, shedding light on the mechanisms by which heavy metals cause neuronal damage and contribute to disease progression. By integrating various perspectives and collating diverse studies, this book serves as an invaluable resource for those seeking to understand the profound impact of heavy metals on neurological health. In addition to detailing the mechanisms involved, the book highlights the importance of early detection and preventive measures.It caters to researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and students, offering a comprehensive and accessible overview that bridges the gap between theory and practical application. This scholarly work is poised to inform and guide future research and policy decisions in the field of neurodegenerative disease. - Provides a comprehensive overview of how heavy metals interact with biological systems, particularly the nervous system - Explains the mechanisms through which metals contribute to neurodegenerative diseases - Highlights the public health implications of heavy metal exposure, including its impact on vulnerable populations such as children and older people
