Abstract

Although the aim of cooking foods is to make them more appetizing and microbiologically safe, it is now known that cooking and food processing at high temperatures generate various kinds of toxic substances, such as heterocyclic amines and acrylamide, via the Maillard reaction. Summarising the latest research in this field, this important collection discusses both the formation of health-hazardous compounds during heat treatment of foods and practical methods to minimise their formation.Part one analyses the formation of hazardous compounds in heat-treated foods such as meat, potatoes,

Abstract

Ascorbate acid (AsA) is an important antioxidant in plants, playing important roles in various physiological processes. Humans have lost the ability to synthesize AsA because of the lack of L-gulono-1,4-lactone oxidoreductase, and thus have to absorb ascorbate from diet including fresh fruits and vegetables, as they are the major sources of ascorbate. Several pathways for AsA biosynthesis and metabolism have been identified in plants since 1998. More attention has been paid to improving ascorbate content in plants especially in fruits and vegetables. Significant progresses have been made on key enzymes and genes involved in the AsA biosynthesis and metabolism. Recently, more interests have arised in the regulation of AsA biosynthesis, as it is constantly regulated by the plant development and the environmental factors, e.g. light. Ascorbic acid is also frequently reported to affect plant growth and development e.g. flowering time and fruit ripening. The scope of the book is to cover the biological role, biosynthesis and metabolism, regulation, and metabolic modification of ascorbate in plants.

Abstract

GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is the main neurotransmitter regulating sleep. The majority of drugs presently in use for the treatment of sleep disorders act by enhancing GABAergic neuronal inhibition. This book brings together many of the world’s leading investigators to discuss current and anticipated developments in the areas of geriatric sleep medicine and provides a comprehensive examination of current principles and practice in this field. It is divided into three main sections: Section I: Basic Physiology and Pharmacology Section II: Sleep Science and Circuitry Section III: Neurotherapeutics The areas covered include findings from research investigations various aspects of GABAergic systems and the regulation of sleep. The book is suitable for basic and clinical neuropharmacologists, sleep researchers, psychiatrists, sleep disorders specialists, clinicians, medical students, and all professionals interested in the interdisciplinary areas of sleep and neuropharmacology.
