{"product_id":"nutritional-biochemistry","title":"Nutritional Biochemistry","description":"\u003cb\u003eNutritional Biochemistry\u003c\/b\u003e takes a scientific approach to nutrition. It covers not just \"whats\"--nutritional requirements--but why they are required for human health, by describing their function at the cellular and molecular level. Each case study either leads to a subsequent discovery or enables an understanding of the physiological mechanisms of action of various nutrition-related processes. The text is \"picture-oriented\" and the commentary is directed towards explaining graphs, figures, and tables. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNutritional Biochemistry\u003c\/b\u003e includes a discussion of relevant aspects of physiology, food chemistry, toxicology, pediatrics, and public health. Experimental techniques for nutritional science are emphasized, and primary data is included to help give students a feel for the nutrition literature. This \"real-world\" approach provides students with a realistic view of the basis for much of our understanding of nutritional biochemistry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* Integrates biochemistry and nutrition in a case-oriented method\u003cbr\u003e* Emphasizes a hands-on approach to learning - case histories and clinical and research data illustrate all major points\u003cbr\u003e* Places emphasis on metabolism - metabolic pathways, enzymology, nutrient requirements (including RDA values)\u003cbr\u003e* Reveals the benefits of the Mediterranean diet, the biochemistry of exercise, the cell signaling pathways, how nutrition can influence the development of cancer, and the anthropometry and genetics of obesity.","brand":"Elsevier S \u0026 T","offers":[{"title":"perpetual","offer_id":44509259169889,"sku":"9780121348366","price":48.5,"currency_code":"KWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/9869\/4241\/files\/480_8c615c21-894b-4fab-937b-50b8afedca99.jpg?v=1778633376","url":"https:\/\/ebooks.aafaqeducation.com\/products\/nutritional-biochemistry","provider":"ebook.aafaqeducation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
