Abstract:

In Cholesterol Metabolism in Aging and Disease, Mark Mc Auley provides in-depth coverage on the mechanistic intersection between the aging process and cholesterol metabolism. The book covers the discovery of cholesterol, its biochemistry, and how it came to have such a prominent role in aging and disease. Important areas such as cholesterol biosynthesis and cellular cholesterol homeostasis are described in detail. Technological advancements in computational modelling are also discussed to help improve our understanding of cholesterol metabolism so that new therapeutic avenues are opened to help treat age-related diseases associated with the dysregulation of this key system. This is a must have reference for students and researchers interested or working in various aspects of aging as well as clinician researchers in the field and gerontologists. Offers detailed, yet accessible description of the biochemistry of cholesterol metabolism and the changes that take place with age Emphasizes the mechanistic changes to cholesterol metabolism which take place with age Discusses the importance of cholesterol metabolism and how disruptions to it underpin age-related diseases
