Description : Natural Molecules in Neuroprotection and Neurotoxicity brings together research in the area of natural compounds and their dual effects of neuroprotection and neurotoxicity when interacting with brain cells. This two volume set is organized into four sections that address molecular mechanism underlying neuroprotection and neurotoxicity, neuroprotection mediated by natural molecules, neurotoxicity induced by natural compounds and nanotechnology-related strategies utilized in neuroprotection.Key features Covers both neuroprotective and neurotoxic outcomes resulted from the exposure of brain cells to natural molecules Analyzes numerous natural compounds, including animal, vegetal, fungal, bacterial, and marine-derived molecules Discusses the effects of the metabolism of microbiota on the biotransformation of natural molecules and the consequences of these processes on brain cells Contains a section focused on the nanotechnology-related strategies utilized to enhance the bioavailability of natural molecules to brain cells
