It covers not just \"whats\"--nutritional requirements--but why they are required for human health, by describing their function at the cellular and molecular level. Each case study either leads to a subsequent discovery or enables an understanding of the physiological mechanisms of action of various nutrition-related processes. The text is \"picture-oriented\" and the commentary is directed towards explaining graphs, figures, and tables. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNutritional Biochemistry\u003c\/b\u003e includes a discussion of relevant aspects of physiology, food chemistry, toxicology, pediatrics, and public health. Experimental techniques for nutritional science are emphasized, and primary data is included to help give students a feel for the nutrition literature. This \"real-world\" approach provides students with a realistic view of the basis for much of our understanding of nutritional biochemistry.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrates biochemistry and nutrition in a case-oriented method\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmphasizes a hands-on approach to learning - case histories and clinical and research data illustrate all major points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlaces emphasis on metabolism - metabolic pathways, enzymology, nutrient requirements (including RDA values)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReveals the benefits of the Mediterranean diet, the biochemistry of exercise, the cell signaling pathways, how nutrition can influence the development of cancer, and the anthropometry and genetics of obesity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47106029191408,"sku":"9780080512914","price":131.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780080512914_p0.jpg?v=1763637563","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780080512914","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
