Описание: Obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and coronary heart disease are serious diseases affecting asignificantnumberofadults across the globe. Insulin resistance, low-grade systemic inflammation, low-birth weight, maternalproteinmalnutrition, neonatalhighcarbohydratediet, and high fat diet are associated with these diseases. On the other hand, adequatelybreast-fedsubjects are substantially at lowerrisk. Ifso, whatis the linkbetweenthese variousfactors?Onepossibilityisthat humanbreast milk containsfactorsthatconferresistancetothese modemdiseases.Here I present arguments that long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) presentinthebreastmilkcouldberesponsibleforthisbeneficialaction. Though the entire class of LCPUFAs provided dunng perinatal periodislikelytohavearole inthepreventionofadultdiseases, itshouldbe understoodthateachofthese LCPUFAsexhibitauniqueand insome cases opposing bioactive properties.It is important to note that there is a close interaction between (0-6 and (0-3 fatty acids. Human breast rmlk contains almost twice (0.78 vs 0.43 %w/w)the amountof(0-6LCPUFAs (gamma- linolenic acid, dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid and arachidonic acid) comparedto (0-3LCPUFAs(eicosapentaenoicacid, docosapentaenoicacid, and docosahexaenoic acid). Obviously, the best would be to mimic the composition/concentrations in which these fatty acids are present in the breastmilk. The conceptthat LCPUFAs given duringpennatalperiod(and inadultlife)isbeneficialinpreventingadultdiseasescertainlyneedsfurther exploration.Iamconfidentthat someofthe enterprisingreaderswill delve intothepossibilitiessuggestedafterreadingthisbook.

Описание: Since the beginning of the 21st Century there has been a rapid increase in our understanding of the cellular trafficking mechanisms of molecular chaperones in eukaryotes and in prokaryotes. In the former, molecular chaperone trafficking can occur between the various cellular compartments, with concomitant movement of other proteins. Such events can also result in the release of molecular chaperones from cells. In bacteria, molecular chaperones are involved in the trafficking of other proteins and are themselves released into the external milieu. The increasing appreciation of the role of molecular chaperones and Protein-Folding Catalysts in the interplay between bacteria and the cells of their hosts is now an important area of research for understanding the mechanisms of infectious diseases. This volume brings together experts in the biochemistry, cellular biology, immunology and molecular biology of molecular chaperones and Protein-Folding Catalysts with a focus on the mechanisms of cellular trafficking of these proteins and the role of these variegated trafficking mechanisms in both human and animal health and disease.
