Nutritional Treatments for Liver Disease: The Effects of Food and Plants offers an essential, comprehensive guide to leveraging nutritional science in the prevention and treatment of liver diseases. Authored by leading research experts in the fields of experimental liver disease and the effects of herbal compounds, and the pathophysiology and pharmacology of liver diseases, this volume synthesizes cutting-edge research on the therapeutic efficacy of functional foods, medicinal plants, vitamins, and gut microbiota modulation for hepatic disorders. Liver diseases represent a significant global health burden with limited pharmacological options. Nutritional Treatments for Liver Disease: The Effects of Food and Plants addresses this gap by detailing the cellular and molecular mechanisms through which natural and synthetic nutritional compounds exert protective, anti-inflammatory, antifibrotic, and antiviral effects on the liver. Topics include the epidemiology of liver diseases, malnutrition complications, and the role of key bioactive compounds such as silymarin, curcumin, quercetin, coffee, and various vitamins. Designed for researchers, clinicians, nutritionists, and students alike, this authoritative resource combines scientific rigor with practical insights to foster advanced understanding and inspire novel therapeutic strategies in liver disease management.

Dr. Ramos-Tovar has research experience in experimental liver disease and the effects of herbal compounds. She has published original research, reviews, and book chapters around the liver. Most of her work has focused on molecular biology and nutrition. She has published more than 20 articles in JCR-indexed journals, which have generated more than a thousand citations.Dr. Muriel PhD has research experience in the pathophysiology and pharmacology of liver diseases including necrosis, fibrosis and cholestasis; the role of cytokines in liver diseases; and oxidative stress and its relation to liver disease. He has published over 100 articles (original and reviews) in addition to 7 book chapters in the area of the liver and has also directed the thesis on dozens of postgraduate students in the same area over the last 30 years. The majority of his work has been in the Medicine and Pharmacology areas. He shows strong and growing citation counts from 2010-2017.
