<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>Nutritional Pathophysiology of Obesity and Its Comorbidities: A Case-Study Approach</i> challenges students and practitioners to understand the role of nutrients within the pathophysiology and development of disease, specifically those diseases which develop as a result of obesity. Through a case-based approach, the author presents complex clinical scenarios that require multiple treatment strategies, including targeted diet modification as an adjuvant to medical therapy. </p> <p>The book is divided into 9 modules and 5 appendices each of which covers aspects of obesity and its comorbidities. Within each module, a case is detailed with relevant history, laboratory and physical data, and follow-up information. Each case is followed by a resource section which delineates current understanding of the pathophysiology of the condition, as well as the actions of nutrients and food components shown to modify these processes. A further readings section cites current supporting clinical and basic literature as well as published guidelines.</p>
