Plants have always been a source of nourishment and healing for living things. Their dual task of producing nutrients and medicines has played a key role in the evolution of herbivore and omnivore organisms. The so-called secondary metabolites are molecules with well-defined functional roles. These compounds are produced to defend plants from abiotic and biotic stresses. The complexity of the molecular structures produced by plants is only equal to their versatility and chemical diversity, while the harmonic intertwining of biosynthetic and metabolic pathways offers a perfect picture of the adaptive…
Plants produce a vast diversity of bioactive molecules to defend themselves from stress. This book provides a complete overview of these compounds, detailing their biochemistry, functional roles, and biotechnological production for use as food supplements and natural medicines.

This book addresses the difficult field of pediatric glycometabolic disorders, which have often been considered the exclusive field of specialists in the sector. However, if all the intricate subjects of long-term treatment of type 1 diabetes are certainly a specialist field, the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes or its distinction from other forms of diabetes cannot be considered fields of strict specialization. Indeed, hypoglycemia, metabolic syndrome due to obesity, and drug-induced hyperglycemia are not specialized fields. Instead, we often see the clinician withdrawing from these pathologies. This book provides the…
Pediatric glycometabolic disorders are often considered a specialist field, but the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, hypoglycemia, and metabolic syndrome is not. This book provides the trainee pediatric specialist with robust preliminary knowledge of the field.
