This volume systematically reviews the basic science and clinical
knowledge of the role of free radicals and antioxidants, collectively
known as "oxidative stress," in the pathology of Alzheimer's disease. It
describes the most current diagnostic tools, laboratory methods and
technology, and suggests ways of prevention and treatment to emphasize
the concept of the bench-to-bedside approach. Studies on Alzheimer's
Disease provides thorough coverage of emerging technology and medical
applications including discussions of biomarkers and antioxidants as
therapeutic agents, and several more relevant aspects. In addition, this
book promotes the concept of using biomarkers representative of
oxidative stress reactions and free-radical damageand describes the
effects of antioxidants in treating disease in clinical trials. This
content is invaluable to both researchers and clinicians studying the
development of and treating patients with Alzheimer's Disease.
