Introduction to Nutrition and Metabolism

Review\nAmy Hess Fischl, MS RDN LDN BC-ADM CDCES(University of Chicago Medical Center)**Description** This sixth edition of a primer of nutritional biochemistry, coming seven years after the last edition, builds on previous content to include key emerging areas of nutrition research, specifically the gut microbiome and epigenetics.**Purpose** The purpose is to enable readers to gain a working knowledge of how nutrients are metabolized and how they influence our metabolic status since these boiling blocks of knowledge are key to our relationship with food. Nutritional biochemistry is crucial to our understanding of the scientific basis behind eating principles. The book meets these objectives.**Audience** The book is written for "those using this information in their studies," which I consider to be nutrition students and nutrition practitioners. The book meets the needs of this audience. The lead author has been part of this book since the first edition. The second author also appears to be a credible authority as a nutrition lecturer and professor.**Features** The eleven chapters cover the key topics in nutritional biochemistry: micronutrients, enzymes and metabolic pathways, the role of ATP, digestion and absorption, metabolism of the macronutrients. The first chapter also delves into why we eat and spends a little time discussing religion, cultural differences, availability, and social status, which is a practical way to lay the framework for the information the book provides. The chapter on diet and health adds nutrition genomics to the conversation as well. While the book is laden with key content, the lead author also provides an additional resource on a website he controls called "The Virtual Tutorial." This has interactive exercises to help readers understand the metabolism of energy, carbohydrate, lipids, and protein. The author suggests that the exercises can be completed alone or in a group "gathered around the same computer." While the website is not formally part of the book, it does appear that it would be helpful for readers to test their knowledge in a more tangible way.**Assessment** This book is a perfectly acceptable option for students who are required to take a nutritional biochemistry course. Given the time between editions, this update is justified.-Weighted Numerical Score: 73 - 3 Stars\nAmy Hess Fischl, MS RDN LDN BC-ADM CDCES(University of Chicago Medical Center) **Description** This sixth edition of a primer of nutritional biochemistry, coming seven years after the last edition, builds on previous content to include key emerging areas of nutrition research, specifically the gut microbiome and epigenetics.*Purpose** The purpose is to enable readers to gain a working knowledge of how nutrients are metabolized and how they influence our metabolic status since these boiling blocks of knowledge are key to our relationship with food.

Product Description 
Introduction to Nutrition and Metabolism equips readers with an understanding of the scientific basis of what we call a healthy diet. Now in its sixth edition, this highly recognized textbook provides clear explanations of how nutrients are metabolized and gives the principles of biochemistry needed for comprehending the science of nutrition. 
This full-color textbook explores the need for food and the uses to which food is put in the body, as well as the interactions between health and diet. Outlining the scientific basis behind nutritional requirements and recommendations, this new edition has been extensively revised to reflect current knowledge. 
Features:\nLists key objectives at the beginning, and summary points at the end of each chapter. 
Accompanying online resources include interactive tutorial exercises based on interpretation of clinical and research data. 
Covers topics including: Chemical reactions and catalysis by enzymes; the role of ATP; digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, fats and proteins; issues associated with being overweight; problems of malnutrition; diet and health; and vitamin and mineral requirements and functions. 
Updated sections focus on the interaction of the gut microbiome and epigenetics with our metabolic responses to diet. 
Provides a foundation of scientific knowledge for the interpretation and evaluation of future advances in nutrition and health sciences.\nFollowing its predecessors, this sixth edition is relevant to any student or practitioner interested in how diet influences our health, including in the fields of nutrition, dietetics, medicine and public health.

The third edition of this leading textbook builds upon the excellent foundation of the previous two editions. It explains and explores the science underlying our current understanding of the interactions between diet and health, and the basis for current dietary goals and recommendations. It also provides a concise and authoritative description of the biochemistry that is essential to an understanding of the functions of nutrients and the importance of diet and nutrition for health and disease. The discussion of metabolic pathways and their regulation is illustrated by clear and simple diagrams, and is linked throughout to nutritional and physiological aspects.

Amino Acid Metabolism, 3rd Edition covers all aspects of the biochemistry and nutritional biochemistry of the amino acids. Starting with an overview of nitrogen fixation and the incorporation of inorganic nitrogen into amino acids, the book then details other major nitrogenous compounds in micro-organisms, plants and animals. Contents include a discussion of the catabolism of amino acids and other nitrogenous compounds in animals, and the microbiological reactions involved in release of nitrogen gas back into the atmosphere. Mammalian (mainly human) protein and amino acid requirements are considered in detail, and the methods that are used to determine them. Chapters consider individual amino acids, grouped according to their metabolic origin, and discussing their biosynthesis (in plants and micro-organisms for those that are dietary essentials for human beings), major metabolic roles (mainly in human metabolism) and catabolism (again mainly in human metabolism). There is also discussion of regulatory mechanisms for all these metabolic pathways, and of metabolic and genetic diseases affecting the (human) metabolism of amino acids. Throughout the book the emphasis is on the nutritional importance of amino acids, integration and control of metabolism and metabolic and other disturbances of relevance to human biochemistry and health. <ul>
<li>Completely revised edition of this comprehensive text covering all the latest findings in amino acid metabolism research</li> <li>Written by an authority in the field</li> <li>Covers new advances in structural biology</li> <li>Clear illustrations of all structures and metabolic pathways</li> <li>Full list of recommended further reading for each chapter and bibliography of papers cited in the text</li> </ul>
