This book “Biochemical Mechanisms of Aluminium Induced Neurological Disorders” is composed of six chapters contributed by reputed scientists working in the field of metals neurotoxicity and studying the role of metals on various neurological disorders. The salient features of this book which make it unique are– it highlights the basic as well as clinical mechanisms of metals induced neurotoxicity in various neurological disorders, and another unique feature of this book is that it discusses the role of Aluminium induced neurological disorders, alone and in combination with other toxic metals as well as with the high fat diet intake, thus adding diversity and unraveling new features of metals neurotoxicity in real scenarios.
This book also covers missing aspects of the blood brain barrier and developmental toxicity, which are not very well studied areas related to Aluminum exposure alone or in combination with other metals. Knowing the pharmacokinetics of Aluminum and other metals are important aspects that can help us to understand the exposure of metals and their brain entry mechanisms, thus, opening up new horizons for the development of therapeutic options. Finally, I would say that this comprehensive book is well balanced and well written in developing understandings of basic and clinical mechanisms of Aluminum induced neurological disorders.
