The book covers the role of postbiotics in immune system modulation and inflammation-mediated metabolic disorders. It also explores the interaction of postbiotics with gut microbiota, detailing molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways. In addition, it offers current and future perspectives on postbiotics in human health, addressing their role in managing insulin resistance, glucose metabolism, metabolic endotoxemia, and inflammation in type 2 diabetes. The text provides an in-depth analysis of the impact of postbiotics on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), lipid profiles, and hypertension. In addition, the chapters:
1) Explore the promising concept of postbiotics and their potential beyond prebiotics and probiotics.
2) Examine the beneficial effects of postbiotics on cardiovascular health, cancer, diabetes, and other conditions.
3) Discuss the role of postbiotics in immune system modulation and inflammation-mediated metabolic disorders.
4) Cover the interaction of postbiotics with gut microbiota, highlighting molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways.
5) Analyze the current and future perspectives on postbiotics, including their impact on various metabolic disorders.
This book is a useful resource for researchers and students of pharmacology and biotechnology.
