Advanced Nutrition and Human Metabolism
Since the first edition was published in 1990, much has changed in the science of nutrition. But the purpose of the text, to provide through coverage of normal metabolism for upper- division nutrition students, remains the same. We continue to strive for a level of detail and scope of material that satisfy the needs of both instructors and students. With each succeding edition, we have responded to suggestions from instructors, content reviewers, and students that have improved the text by enhancing the clarity of the material and by ensuring accuracy. In addition, we have included the latest and most pertinent nutrition professionals with the fundamental information vital to their careers and to provide the basis for assimilating new scientific discoveries as the happen.rnrnrnBecause this book focuses on normal human nutrition and physiological function, it is an effective resource for students majoring in either nutrition sciences or dietetics. Intended for a course in advanced nutrition, the text presumes a sound background in the biological science, particularly biochemistry and physiology, which are important to understanding the material. This text applies biochemistry to nutrient use from consumption through digestion, absorption, distribution, and celular metabolismrn
