Nutritional BiochemistryAuthor(s): Tom Brody\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Elsevier Science Publishing Co Inc, United States\nImprint: Academic Press Inc\nISBN-13: 9780121348366, 978-0121348366\nSynopsis\nNutritional Biochemistry takes a scientific approach to nutrition. 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.\n\nNutritional Biochemistry 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.
