This book focuses mainly on human nutrition and emphasises the molecular and metabolic basis of nutrition to reflect the increasing knowledge and research in these fields. It explains the biochemical functions of the essential nutrients and the physiological consequences of deficient and excessive intakes. These are described within the context of normal human diets and requirements for health. Consideration is also given to the other biologically active materials within foods and to the role of diet in multifactorial diseases. Each chapter addresses a different type of nutrient, such as…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
This book focuses mainly on human nutrition and emphasises the molecular and metabolic basis of nutrition to reflect the increasing knowledge and research in these fields. It explains the biochemical functions of the essential nutrients and the physiological consequences of deficient and excessive intakes. These are described within the context of normal human diets and requirements for health. Consideration is also given to the other biologically active materials within foods and to the role of diet in multifactorial diseases. Each chapter addresses a different type of nutrient, such as protein, vitamins and minerals, discussing their structure, breakdown and energy dynamics. Although this book is about human nutrition, in some instances there are comparisons with and examples of other mammalian species to facilitate understanding of the principles being explained. This book is the only one to cover this particular subject and should prove very popular with both students and lecturers alike .

Focusing on the metabolic basis of human nutrition, this book details recent knowledge and research in this field. It explains the biochemical functions of the essential nutrients and the physiological consequences of deficient and excessive intakes. These are described within the context of normal human diets and requirements for health. Although this book is about human nutrition, in some instances there are comparisons with and examples of other mammalian species to facilitate understanding of the principles. The only book to cover this particular subject, Molecular Basis of Human Nutrition serves as both a reference and textbook.
