T1  - A Glance at the Complexity of Nutrition and the Prostate: Considering Molecular Targets to Unravel the Most Recent Controversy Between Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Their Impact on Prostate Cancer Risk
N2  - The medicinal use of plants, animals and microorganisms has been a part of human evolution and likely began before recorded history.  Is it possible that this knowledge can be used to create powerful new drugs and solve some of the human health problems facing us today?  This book is a collection of  an expert team of agronomists, chemists, biologists and policy makers who discuss some of the processes involved in developing a naturally-sourced bioactive compound into a drug therapy.   These experts define a natural compound and elucidate the processes required to find, extract and define a naturally-derived bioactive molecule.  Finally, they describe the necessity for understanding the fundamental mechanisms of disease before applying bioactive molecules in bioassay-guided drug discovery platforms.
