Description
This book presents advanced nutrition in a comprehensive, easy-to-understand format ideal for graduate students in nutritional programs,
organic chemistry, physiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology. It focuses on he biology of human nutrition at the molecular, cellular,
tissue, and whole-body levels. Biochemical, Physiological, & Molecular Aspects of Human Nutrition is full of student-friendly features
- chapter outlines; common abbreviations; critical thinking exercises; detailed illustrations; and feature boxes spotlighting key nutritional
data, insights, and clinical correlations. In addition, chapters are organized logically into seven units, reflecting the traditional
nutrient class divisions.
