Oxidative Stress (eBook, ePUB)

Its Mechanisms and Impacts on Human Health and Disease Onset

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Oxidative Stress: Its Impact on Human Health and Disease Onset examines all factors known to elevate oxidative stress (OS) and the mechanism of OS disease causation. Sections cover the causes and prevention of oxidative stress, the types of chemical exposures and environmental factors that precipitate disease, disease hallmarks and biomarkers, disease clusters, disease co-morbidities, free radical attacks at the cellular level, and the Oxidative Stress Index tool, its premise, and how it can be used to identify the primary causes of specific diseases and predict the likelihood of disease onset.

With comprehensive coverage of not only the impact of OS due to chemical exposure but also the consequences of environmental factors, this book is a valuable resource for researchers and scientists in toxicology and environmental science, health practitioners, public health professionals, and others who wish to broaden their knowledge on this topic.

• Covers the chemical exposures and environmental factors that cause oxidative stress
• Provides further understanding on the mechanisms of oxidative damage response and disease
• Shows how oxidative stress and its role can be determined non-invasively via the Oxidative Stress Index

Autorenporträt

Dr. Harold I. Zeliger holds a PhD in organic chemistry and has been a professor of chemistry and environmental science. He is a Certified Professional Chemist, a Board- Certified Forensic Examiner, and an EPA Certified Laboratory Director. Dr. Zeliger is the author of 51 technical publications, including basic research journal articles and patents. In his more than 40 years in the Chemical Process Industry, he has personally developed many industrial and consumer chemical products, designed chemical product warning labels and written Material Safety Data Sheets for toxic and flammable chemicals. Dr. Zeliger has investigated hundreds of toxic chemical exposures, environmental spills and discharges, chemical fires and explosions nationally and internationally. He has served repeatedly as an expert witness for both plaintiffs and defendants in chemical product, process, toxic exposure, environmental, flammable, intellectual property and subrogation claims. Dr. Zeliger has provided services for numerous forensic examinations, technology transfer and due diligence investigations. Dr. Zeliger's research is in the area of chemical toxicology. His published work includes papers on the toxic effects of chemical mixtures and chemical causes of cancer clusters and two editions of Human Toxicology of Chemical Mixtures, Second Edition.
