Description

Metabolic Syndrome: From Mechanisms to Interventions covers all aspects of this complex and multifactorial disease, providing a cutting-edge understanding of the problem of MetS, with a particular focus on its prevention and clinical management. The book discusses practical implementable approaches to its reversal in clinical practice, encompassing the entire spectrum of MetS, from molecular understanding to clinical therapeutics and prevention. This book is a valuable resource for clinicians in multiple specialties, including endocrinologists, diabetologists, hepatologists, gynecologists and researchers in related fields who need a deep understanding of the full range of scientific and clinical aspects of metabolic syndrome.

Key features

  • Presents a holistic, preventative strategy involving each and every aspect of metabolic syndrome, from pathophysiologic to clinical management
  • Discusses recent research on the role of inflammation, adipokines and myokines in metabolic syndrome
  • Includes cutting-edge information on the impact of bariatric surgery and role of gut microbiota in MetS
  • Provides flowcharts and diagrams to simplify pathophysiologic aspects and their association between risk factors

Readership

Clinicians and researchers focused on endocrinology, cardiology, vascular disease, other health care workers in related fields, Health professionals and researchers working with hepatology, gynecology, bariatric surgeries, and epidemiology

Satinath Mukhopadhyay

Dr Mukhopadhyay has been involved in patient care, teaching and research for more than two decades. In addition to teaching MD students for their postdoc (DM) degree in Endocrinology & Metabolic disorders, he also guides research fellows and postdocs for their translational work involving metabolic syndrome (MetS). He has been working on the role of the hepatokine fetuin-A on metabolic syndrome. He is also working on a peroxyvanadate compound that prevents the progression of MetS to T2DM by inhibiting Fetuin-A. His group was credited with the first randomized controlled trial (RCT) on the impact of vitamin D treatment on IR and progression of people with MetS to T2D, discodering a role of vitamin D in the prevention of progression of MetS.
