Academic Press Molecular Mechanisms of Nutritional Interventions and Supplements for the Management of Sexual Dysfunction and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Product Description Molecular Mechanisms of Nutritional Interventions and Supplements for the Management of Sexual Disfunction and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia presents the epidemiologic data linking diet with BPH and ED, along with a deep explanation on why nutritional approaches and different macronutrients may modify the pathogenesis of the disease. Coverage includes the relevance/epidemiology of the disease, pathophysiological events causing the disease, available therapeutic options, molecular mechanisms of action of available treatments, epidemiological and intervention studies suggesting the benefit of diet as therapeutic option for BPH and ED, and potential mechanisms of action of nutritional based approaches as treatment for BPH and ED. By combining medicine, diet and lifestyle options, this title provides a truly multidisciplinary approach to BPH and ED, making it a unique resource for those treating BPH and an irreplaceable reference guide for those in research.
