The ability to regulate and manipulate the generation or remodeling of blood
vessels is key to the successful treatment of many chronic diseases, both
oncological and non-oncological. Several bioactive compounds present in human
diets are now known to exert an inhibitive effect on the either the signaling or
construction of new blood vessels. The identification and characterization of
these anti-angiogenic molecules opens a new avenue for the research and
production of functional and medicinal foods with far reaching implications for
the food-based treatment of chronic degenerative disease. Drawing from an
extensive list of esteemed international contributors, Anti-Angiogenic
Functional and Medicinal Foods explores the history and scope of the
