Nutritional Pathophysiology of Obesity and Its Comorbidities: A Case-Study Approach
Bridging Metabolic Science to Clinical Practice.
Why This Book?
Obesity isn’t just about weight—it’s a root cause of modern chronic diseases. This innovative text uses real patient cases to reveal how nutrients influence disease pathways, equipping clinicians and students to:
- Decipher obesity-driven pathophysiology in diabetes, renal disease, CVD, and more
- Design precision nutrition interventions that complement medical therapy
- Master molecular mechanisms linking diet to metabolic dysfunction
Key Features
- 9 Disease-Specific Modules – Each with:
- Full patient case (history, labs, outcomes)
- Nutrient-focused pathophysiology deep dive
- Evidence-based dietary strategies
-
Cutting-Edge Science
- How macronutrients alter insulin signaling, lipid metabolism
- Micronutrients’ role in oxidative stress, inflammation
-
Clinical Decision Tools
- Interpretation guides for metabolic biomarkers
- Dietary prescription templates
- Further readings with landmark trials & guidelines
Who Benefits Most?
- Medical/Nutrition students – Connects biochemistry to bedside care
- Endocrinologists & Dietitians – Enhances comorbidity management
- Researchers – Identifies mechanistic gaps for future study
Case Examples Include:
- Type 2 Diabetes: Protein’s dual effects on glycemia
- NAFLD: Omega-3s vs. fructose in steatosis
- CKD: Potassium-phosphorus tradeoffs
Finally—a book that makes nutrient-pathway-disease connections clinically actionable.
