Drawing from an extensive list of esteemed international contributors, Anti-Angiogenic Functional and Medicinal Foods explores the history and scope of the use of functional foods around the world. It illustrates the importance of recent "ohmics" technology for understanding the molecular basis of nutrition and systems toxicology. Individual chapters explain the role of angiogenesis in various chronic diseases including tumors, cardiovascular disease, inflammatory arthritis, and obesity. The text studies specific foods and their functional bioactive compounds such as edible berry anthocyanins, dietary flavanoids, probiotics, and marine polysaccharides. It concludes by considering the challenges faced during the development and delivery of anti-angiogenic functional food products.
