Through a case-based approach, the author presents complex clinical scenarios that require multiple treatment strategies, including targeted diet modification as an adjuvant to medical therapy. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book is divided into 9 modules and 5 appendices each of which covers aspects of obesity and its comorbidities. Within each module, a case is detailed with relevant history, laboratory and physical data, and follow-up information. Each case is followed by a resource section which delineates current understanding of the pathophysiology of the condition, as well as the actions of nutrients and food components shown to modify these processes. A \"further readings\" section cites current supporting clinical and basic literature as well as published guidelines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores how obesity is a key player in the pathophysiology of many diseases, including diabetes mellitus, chronic renal failure, hypertension, and atherosclerosis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrates current understandings of the molecular mechanisms of nutrient action on the processes of disease development and treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresents students and early practitioners with complex clinical scenarios through a practical case-based approach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119656124656,"sku":"9780128030349","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780128030349_p0.jpg?v=1763639895","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780128030349","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
