Synopsis: Cholesterol Metabolism in Aging and Disease provides in-depth coverage on the mechanistic intersection between the aging process and cholesterol metabolism. The book covers the discovery of cholesterol, its biochemistry, and how it came to have such a prominent role in aging and disease. Important areas such as cholesterol biosynthesis and cellular cholesterol homeostasis are described in detail. Technological advancements in computational modeling are also discussed to help improve our understanding of cholesterol metabolism so that new therapeutic avenues are opened to help treat age-related diseases associated with the dysregulation of this key system. This is a must have reference for students and researchers interested in, or working in, various aspects of aging. In addition, it is ideal for clinician researchers and gerontologists.
