Book Description
The brain is the most complex organ in our body. Indeed, it is perhaps the most complex structure we have ever encountered in nature. Both structurally and functionally, there are many peculiarities that differentiate the brain from all other organs. The brain is our connection to the world around us and by governing nervous system and higher function, any disturbance induces severe neurological and psychiatric disorders that can have a devastating effect on quality of life. Our understanding of the physiology and biochemistry of the brain has improved dramatically in the last two decades. In particular, the critical role of cations, including magnesium, has become evident, even if incompletely understood at a mechanistic level. The exact role and regulation of magnesium, in particular, remains elusive, largely because intracellular levels are so difficult to routinely quantify. Nonetheless, the importance of magnesium to normal central nervous system activity is self-evident given the complicated homeostatic mechanisms that maintain the concentration of this cation within strict limits essential for normal physiology and metabolism. There is also considerable accumulating evidence to suggest alterations to some brain functions in both normal and pathological conditions may be linked to alterations in local magnesium concentration. This book, containing chapters written by some of the foremost experts in the field of magnesium research, brings together the latest in experimental and clinical magnesium research as it relates to the central nervous system. It offers a complete and updated view of magnesiums involvement in central nervous system function and in so doing, brings together two main pillars of contemporary neuroscience research, namely providing an explanation for the molecular mechanisms involved in brain function, and emphasizing the connections between the molecular changes and behavior. It is the untiring efforts of those magnesium researchers who have dedicated their lives to unraveling the mysteries of magnesiums role in biological systems that has inspired the collation of this volume of work.

Nutritional Bioavailability of Iron

Book Description
Abstract: Research results concerning aspects of iron (Fe) bioavailability from various foods and interactions of Fe with other nutrients are reported by experts for nutritionists and food and agricultural chemists. Several areas address the determination of available Fe in foods, changes in Fe availability caused by food processing, physiochemical food properties affecting Fe chemstry, and food additives that either enhance or inhibit Fe intake. Therelationship of ascorbic acid in aiding Fe absorption is discussed, as is the inhibitory action of dietary fiber. Twoimportant human nutrition aspects cover Fe availability in human milk, and the differences in Fe utilization between vegetarians and omnivores. When careful choice is made of food combinations, food additives, and proper processing methods, humans can utilize a greater portion of the Fe in low-energy foods. (wz).
