Aprašymas

Obesity therapeutics are evolving rapidly. A Handbook on Enhancing Metabolic Competence: Nutraceutical and Pharmaceutical Strategies for Obesity Mitigation offers a rigorous, integrative survey of nutraceutical and pharmaceutical options anchored in peer¿reviewed evidence. Coverage of modern pharmacotherapy spans GLP¿1 receptor agonists and other incretin¿based agents, as well as combination therapies and emerging approaches like bile acid modulation. Clear mechanistic explanations connect appetite, satiety, glycaemic control and energy balance to clinical outcomes, safety profiles and practical considerations in care.

A strong emphasis is placed on nutraceuticals. The book synthesises data on fibres such as glucomannan and psyllium, omegä3 fatty acids, green tea catechins and conjugated linoleic acid, appraising efficacy signals, variability across studies, proposed mechanisms, formulation quality and potential interactions. It equips the reader to interpret trials, dosing rationales and safety considerations, highlighting where evidence is robust, mixed or still emerging, and situates these interventions within integrated care alongside diet, physical activity and behavioural support.

Designed for clinicians, researchers, allied health professionals and advanced students, this book bridges bench science and bedside practice. It supports critical comparison of interventions, personalisation of treatment and navigation of adherence, tolerability and long¿term outcomes. By uniting pharmacological and nutraceutical perspectives within a coherent, translational narrative, the book provides a timely, authoritative reference for the evolving management of obesity and related cardiometabolic risk.
