商品描述

This book seeks to unravel the mysteries of wolfberry, and systematically introduces its mechanisms in preventing aging-associated diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, inflammation, liver and neurodegenerative diseases. Wolfberry, the dried fruit of Lycium barbarum, is an anti-aging herbal medicine. There have been numerous reports investigating the underlying mechanisms of its anti-aging effects and its role in preventing pathological changes in many aging-associated diseases. Its holistic effects on the body can attenuate liver toxicity and combat the spread of cancer; it also prevents degeneration in the central nervous system, and can even positively affect the skin. As such, wolfberry has become a very popular food supplement around the world. This book will serve as an excellent reference source for researchers and graduate students studying herbal medicine and aging-associated diseases, while also providing insights for the pharmaceutical industry with regard to developing potential drugs for these diseases.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書旨在揭開枸杞的神秘面紗,並系統性地介紹其在預防與老化相關疾病(如心血管疾病、炎症、肝臟疾病和神經退行性疾病)方面的機制。枸杞,即枸杞的乾果,是一種抗老化的草藥。已有許多報告探討其抗老化效果的潛在機制及其在預防多種與老化相關疾病的病理變化中的作用。其對身體的整體效應可以減輕肝臟毒性並對抗癌症的擴散;同時,它還能預防中樞神經系統的退化,甚至對皮膚產生正面影響。因此,枸杞已成為全球非常受歡迎的食品補充劑。本書將成為研究草藥和與老化相關疾病的研究人員及研究生的優秀參考資料,同時也為製藥行業在開發這些疾病的潛在藥物方面提供見解。
