Gain a complete understanding of nutrition’s role in health and disease! With its comprehensive, easy-to-read format, Biochemical, Physiological, and Molecular Aspects of Human Nutrition, 5th Edition, provides clear, concise coverage of advanced nutrition concepts at the molecular, cellular, tissue, and whole-body levels. Written by a team of nutrition experts, this edition address nutrients by classification, and describes macronutrient function from digestion to metabolism. Fully updated artwork and new features such as bolded summary headings and additional boxes and tables enhance readability and present new research and findings in an easily digestible format.
