This volume includes six chapters that detail advances in health and disease. Chapter 1 discusses the molecular mechanisms and clinical characteristics of metabolic liver diseases. Chapter 2 provides new insights into the available data of the association between balanced diet and cognitive function. Chapter 3 examines the reasons behind adulteration, the health issues it causes, and where current monitoring and regulation are falling short. Chapter 4 provides an overview of antimicrobial peptides, focusing on their structural and physicochemical characteristics, diverse biological sources, and mechanisms of action, including membrane-targeting and intracellular pathways. Chapter 5 discusses the role of Cerebrolysin across diverse forms of acute brain injury. Finally, chapter 6 provides a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms through which reactive oxygen species (ROS) and an imbalance in the antioxidant defense system impair reproductive health.
