Defines the molecular fate of nutrients and other dietary compounds in humans and outlines the molecular basis of processes supporting nutrition, such as chemical sensing and appetite control. This book focuses on the presentation of nutritional biochemistry and provides a perspective on the events that control utilization of dietary compounds.
Nutrient Metabolism defines the molecular fate of nutrients and other dietary compounds in humans, as well as outlining the molecular basis of processes supporting nutrition, such as chemical sensing and appetite control. It focuses on the presentation of nutritional biochemistry; and the reader is given a clear and specific perspective on the events that control utilization of dietary compounds. Slightly over 100 self-contained chapters cover all essential and important nutrients as well as many other dietary compounds with relevance for human health. An essential read for healthcare professionals and researchers in all areas of health and nutrition who want to access the wealth of nutrition knowledge available today in one single source.
