The Neuroendocrine Immune Network in Ageing, Volume 4 (NeuroImmune Biology)
R.H. Straub,E. Mocchegiani | 2004-10-15 00:00:00 | Elsevier Science | 456 | Nutrition
The book describes the mechanisms involved in the maintenance of neuroendocrine-immune interactions in ageing. The lack of this maintenance leads to the appearance of age-related diseases (cancer, infections, dementia) and subsequent disability. The capacity of some hormones or nutritional factors in restoring and remodelling the neuroendocrine-immune response during ageing is reported presenting possible new anti-ageing strategies in order to reach healthy ageing and longevity.
