Main description:

Like its predecessors, the new and updated edition of Advanced Nutrition: Macronutrients, Micronutrients, and Metabolism is an essential textbook for advanced undergraduate and first-year graduate students studying human nutrition.

This book draws on inter-related sciences including biochemistry, genetics, and physiology to provide a full understanding of nutrition science. This third edition describes the chemistry, absorption, use and excretion of each of the essential nutrients. There is comprehensive coverage of nutrient-nutrient interactions and both macro and micronutrients.

The book places strong emphasis on how nutrient-genetic interactions function with respect to disease development. The new edition includes some of the most recent descriptions of the roles nutrients play in the expression of genetic traits for a variety of degenerative diseases. It includes a new chapter explains the function of microorganisms in the maintenance and development of chronic degenerative disease.

Features:

Chapters address clinical conditions such as obesity, starvation, hyperlipemia, renal disease and organ function.
Includes updated information on the body's microbiotica and the daily nutrient needs of humans across the life cycle.
Material reveals the neurodegenerative response to dietary variables with respect to the regulation of food intake.
Chapter summaries highlight key information and case studies challenge students to integrate what they have learned to solve clinical cases.
