Short description
Integrating nutrition science with biochemistry, genetics, and physiology, this textpresents key concepts in nutrition science, with emphasis on the role of macro- and micronutrients in metabolism. Revising and expanding information from Advanced Nutrition Micronutrients and Advanced Nutrition Macronutrients, "Second Edition," this renovated work includes new chapters on the regulation of food intake, daily recommendations, nutrition assessment, metabolism, toxicology, nutrigenomics, epigenetics, gene expression, cell cycle, and lifespan nutrition. It includes a glossary, clinical correlates, diagrams, and a CD-ROM with additional material.

Review
This text, a continuation of the first Advanced Nutrition text on macronutrients, focuses on how vitamins and minerals operate at the genomic level. It reflects the major research endeavors by nutrition scientists throughout the world in studying nutrient-gene, nutrient-drug interactionsideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate-level courses -Nutrition Today a welcome addition to the options available to instructors assigned to teach advanced undergraduate or graduate courses in micronutrientsdoes an excellent job of covering the essential vitamins and minerals in human nutrition. - Joanne L. Slavin, J. Am. Diet. Assoc. serves as a complete reference on vitamins and minerals that will serve as a ready reference and deepen the knowledge and understanding of interested readers. -Irene Rosenberg, MD in Journal of Nutrition For the Elderly Most notable features of this book are the many exquisite technical illustrations. This book serves as a unique resource for educators and students of nutrition to aid in the presentation and understanding of micronutrient concepts. -Stanley T. Omaye inEnvironmental & Nutritional Interactions represents an in-depth treatment of micronutrients with supplemental reading for follow-up on specific topicsit will be a valuable book for graduate and medical students and a useful handbook for scientists actively working in this area of research. -Donald B. Jump, The Physiologist
