Description

Role of Gut Microbiome in Neurodegenerative Disorders provides an overview of the gut microbiota and its interactions with the gut and the central nervous system. This book reviews the relevance of this axis to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease (PD), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and Multiple sclerosis (MS). Various chapters discuss the effects of gut derived particles in various parts of brain and the targeting pathways leading to protein deposition in brain.

Key features

  • Reviews the pathology and pathophysiology of gut derived neuropeptides in neurodegenerative disorders
  • Discusses mechanism of gut derivatives on immune system
  • Presents possible therapy mechanism using gut microbiome

Readership

Clinical professionals, researchers and students in neurology, neuroscience, microbiology, and related subjects, like environmental medicine, complementary and alternative medicine
