and Gut Microbiota
This book offers a comprehensive and multi-faceted examination of gastrointestinal inflammations, discussing factors that
impact gut health. The initial chapters establish a foundational understanding of gastrointestinal inflammations and the critical
role of the gut microbiota. The book then delves into the complex pathophysiology and various risk factors associated with
these conditions, offering insights into the latest diagnostic, screening, and prevention techniques. It explores the dynamic
interactions between the gut and the brain as well as the biochemical interplays involving short-chain fatty acids, reactive oxygen
species, and superoxide dismutases. Additionally, the book thoroughly discusses the impact of genetics on gastrointestinal
health, the interactions between antibiotics and gut microbiota, and the pivotal role of the immune system in inflammation. It
highlights advancements in diagnostic technologies and gut microbiota-based strategies, along with the use of nanoparticles in
treatment. The book also examines the psychological aspects associated with gastrointestinal inflammations, emphasizing the
importance of mental health for physical well-being. It assesses the potential of functional foods, various types of nanocarriers,
and plant-based bioactives in managing gastrointestinal inflammations. As such, this book is primarily intended for researchers
and students in the fields of gastroenterology and microbiology.
