The Metabolic Syndrome: Epidemiology, Clinical Treatment, and Underlying Mechanisms /

With an extraordinary need for early intervention and prevention to slow or halt its progression, Metabolic Syndrome is one of the most challenging health problems. Only through an understanding of the science underlying this syndrome can successful interventions be developed and implemented. In The...
