Anti-Angiogenic Functional and Medicinal Foods explores the history and scope of the use of conventional foods, nutraceuticals, and health products in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, India, Australia, and New Zealand.

Anti-Angiogenic Functional and Medicinal Foods illustrates the importance of recent "omics" technology and its implication on our understanding of nutrition and systemic function.

Explaining the role of angiogenesis in various chronic diseases, individual chapters consider endothelial cell responses, the mechanism of the angiogenic cascade, and the angiogenic function involved in tumors, cardiovascular disease, inflammatory arthritis, and obesity.

Features:

• Explores the history and scope of the use of functional foods around the world
• Illustrates the importance of proteomics, genomics, and toxicogenomics in understanding the molecular basis of nutrition and systems toxicology
• Explains the role of angiogenesis in various chronic diseases
• Studies specific foods and their functional bioactive compounds
• Discusses the challenges and opportunities faced during the development and delivery of anti-angiogenic functional food products
