Otero-Losada Matilde, Capani Francisco, Lloret Santiago Perez (eds.) Neuroprotection: New Approaches and Prospects

ITexLi, 2020. — 321 p. — ISBN 1838804404 9781838804404 1838804390 9781838804398 1839692618 9781839692611.This book examines some of the most promising approaches in neuroprotection as well as discusses current goals and prospects.
Neurological disease affects nearly 25%–30% of the world’s population, exerting enormous financial strain on the healthcare system. Estimated current costs are around $800 annual billion, and this number is expected to increase exponentially as the global population ages. As such, new and alternative neuroprotective strategies are urgently needed. Organized into three sections, chapters cover such topics as the use of cannabinoids, medicinal plants, and essential oils in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s; protein misfolding and the neuroprotective potential of vitamin E in cerebral ischemia; and potential new neurological treatments and their mechanisms of action.Neuroprotective Properties of Cannabinoids in Cellular and Animal Models: Hypotheses and Facts
