Book Reviews of Biochemical, Physiological & Molecular Aspects of Human Nutrition
Book Review: Better
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the second edition of the first Biochemcial and Physiological Aspects of Human Nutrition. It is much improved from the first edition. More diagrams and better organization of chapters. The "Nutrition Insight" boxes are particularly interesting and helpful. Diagrams could be colored and more comprehensible, but overall a great improvement from the last edition. This book is missing the chapter on oxidative stress, present in the last edition, and also does not have a chapter on nucleic acids (as those have nutritional quality)or parenteral/enteral nutrition. Those topics would be good to see in future editions.
Summary of Biochemical, Physiological & Molecular Aspects of Human Nutrition
This book presents advanced nutrition in a comprehensive, easy-to-understand format ideal for graduate students in nutritional programs, organic chemistry, physiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology. It focuses on the biology of human nutrition at the molecular, cellular, tissue, and whole-body levels. Biochemical, Physiological, & Molecular Aspects of Human Nutrition is full of student-friendly features - chapter outlines; common abbreviations; critical thinking exercises; detailed illustrations; and feature boxes spotlighting key nutritional data, insights, and clinical correlations. In addition, chapters are organized logically into seven units, reflecting the traditional nutrient class divisions. * Nutrition Insight boxes take a closer look at basic science and everyday nutrition, going beyond the content presented in the chapter and spotlighting timely topics. * Clinical Correlation boxes discuss various nutrition-related problems and help readers make the connections between abnormalities and their effects on normal metabolism. * Food Sources and RDAs/AIs across the Life Cycle boxes summarize key information from the USDA National Nutrient Database and the Institute of Medicine into abbreviated, to-the-point lists that easily spotlight the key information related to that content area. * Life Cycle Considerations boxes highlight particular nutritional processes or concepts applicable to individuals of various ages and in various stages of the life span. * Thinking Critically sections within feature boxes encourage students to apply scientific knowledge to "real-life" situations.General Books
