Phytochemicals, Signal Transduction, and Neurological Disorders

Exploring the role of phytochemicals, this book delves into their health benefits against oxidative stress and inflammation, particularly in neurological disorders. It discusses how these bioactive compounds, such as curcumin and resveratrol, influence cellular protection and stress-resistance through mechanisms like Nrf2 activation. The text emphasizes the importance of phytochemicals in promoting brain health from childhood to old age, potentially delaying age-related conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Comprehensive insights into their bioavailability and action in neurotrauma and neurodegeneration are also provided.
