The Vitamins: Chemistry, Physiology, Pathology, Methods, Volume I, Second Edition covers the chemical, physiological, pathological, and methodological aspects of vitamin A, carotene, and ascorbic acid. This two-chapter volume concerns the chemistry, nomenclature, industrial production, biogenesis, biochemistry, deficiency effects, standardization of activity, requirements, pharmacology, and pathology of each of the vitamins.
The Nutritional Biochemistry of Chromium III , Second Edition, reviews the fields of chromium biochemistry and nutrition and how they have dramatically changed in the last decade.
Editor John Vincent has lead much of the research that has resulted in new discoveries and reversals of previously held beliefs, such as health. Amino acid biochemistry and nutrition spans a broad range of fields including biochemistry, metabolism, physiology, immunology, reproduction, pathology, and cell biology. In the last half-century, there have been many conceptual and technical advancements, from analysis of amino acids by high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry to molecular cloning of transporters.
Over two billion people worldwide are at risk for the spectrum of disorders known as "The Iodine Deficiency Disorders. The causes of iodine deficiencies can be considered from both simplistic. Home Nutritional Biochemistry And Pathology. Nutritional Biochemistry and Pathology. Nutritional Biochemistry and Pathology by W. This text then delineates the detection of aberrations in the metabolism of tryptophan, which may be induced by pathological stress.
Other chapters consider the impact of hormones on the utilization of several nutrients. This book discusses as well the utilization of the essential nutrients, including amino acids, biotin, folic acid, pantothenic acid, and fat-soluble vitamins. The final chapter deals with principles and methods of nutritional needs in humans. Biochemists, graduate students, and investigators in the life sciences will find this book useful.
This book reviews the criterion of protein utilization and considers the important components of protein metabolism. Organized into 11 chapters, this volume starts with an overview of the metabolic changes induced by deficiencies of essential nutrients.
This text then examines the problems of human protein needs in the light of the food habits of vegetarians. Other chapters explore lipid metabolism in terms of its dynamic mechanisms. This book discusses as well the significance of minerals in the utilization of primary foodstuffs, namely, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
The final chapter deals with the methodology for studies in human nutrition. This book is a valuable resource for biochemists, graduate students, and clinical researchers.
Editor John Vincent has lead much of the research that has resulted in new discoveries and reversals of previously held beliefs, such as health concerns surrounding the toxicity of chromium III. New sections include a review of new evidence showing why chromium may not be an essential element, why national recommendations may need updating, and new data on the use of chromium supplementation in animal feeds. Discussions on the controversial topic of the role of chromium III at the molecular level in insulin signaling and information on cell cultures and in vitro assays of chromium toxicity are also covered.
Examines all of the significant research surrounding chromium, providing discussion on both sides of controversial issues Features new evidence that shows why chromium may not be an essential element Details why national recommendations may need updating Edited by leading expert in the field of chromium, with new contributions from leaders in different aspects of chromium research.
Comprised of seven chapters, this book discusses the nutritional and metabolic aspects of circadian rhythms; the relationship of amino acid requirements in terms of amino acid composition and availability from various food sources; and the characteristics of protein-calorie malnutrition.
It also describes methods, biochemical mechanisms, and dietary factors that influence the metabolic conversion of dietary carbohydrates into lipid moieties. The book examines the influence of nutritional factors on ribosomal dynamics and discusses the isolation, physical, and biochemical characteristics of proteinase inhibitors found in soy and lima beans and other edible vegetable seeds.
A novel method for determining the biological value of protein foodstuffs is also included. This book will be a valuable resource for graduate students and investigators in nutrition and other life sciences. Comprised of six chapters, this book describes determinations of dietary needs of fats, vitamins, and amino acids which fail to apply the long-known ""Law of Diminishing Returns"" to the experimental data.
It examines the correlation of urinary metabolites with dietary conditions from the point of view of the dynamic state of metabolism. Score: 1.
