Areas of great interest for both the public and the scientific community are the roles of vitamins C and E in disease prevention, in retarding the progression of age-related chronic and degenerative disorders, and in promoting healthy aging. The first part of this book provides a concise historical background of vitamins C and E and summarizes many important discoveries concerning their biological functions and their roles in prevention of dietary deficiency, chronic disease, and oxidative stress. Other chapters detail current research on the biological actions of vitamins C and E in biochemical, cell, and physiological systems, and their roles in “oxidative stress-related” diseases and disorders. These latter chapters highlight the importance of vitamins C and E in metabolic and inflammatory disorders, in age-related diseases, and in healthy aging. Special Warehouse Sale Price:
