<p>Like its predecessors the new and updated edition of <strong><em>Advanced Nutrition: Macronutrients Micronutrients and Metabolism </em></strong>is an essential textbook for advanced undergraduate and first-year graduate students studying human nutrition.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>Features:</p><ul> <li>Chapters address clinical conditions such as obesity starvation hyperlipemia renal disease and organ function.</li> <li>Includes updated information on the body’s microbiotica and the daily nutrient needs of humans across the life cycle.</li> <li>Material reveals the neurodegenerative response to dietary variables with respect to the regulation of food intake.</li> <li>Chapter summaries highlight key information and case studies challenge students to integrate what they have learned to solve clinical cases.</li> </ul>
