Produktinformationen zu „Molecular Nutrition and Genomics (PDF)“
This fascinating book draws it subject matter from a range of
relevant disciplines that extend from molecular nutrition,
nutritional sciences, and nutrition dietetics through to genetics,
genomics, and anthropology. It presents a vital portrait of the
absolutely fundamental role that nutrition has played and continues
to play in shaping who and what human beings are, as well as where
they evolved from, and where they may be heading as a species.
Molecular Nutrition: Nutrition and the Evolution of
Humankind:
* Blends coverage of the molecular mechanisms that underpin
nutrient-gene interactions with evolutionary theory
* Takes a molecular biological approach to problem solving, and
moves nutrition away from its dietetic and anthropological origins
to the front lines of genomic research
* Covers key concepts in molecular biology; the -omics
revolution and bioinformatics; recent human evolution; molecular
mechanisms of gene-nutrient interactions; the importance of
nutrients and genomics in disease; the evolution of micronutrient
metabolism, protein structure, and human disease; nutrients and the
human lifecycle; contemporary dietary patterns; leading-edge
laboratory tools in nutrigenomics and human evolutionary
studies
Written by an internationally recognised expert in the field,
Molecular Nutrition: Nutrition and the Evolution of
Humankind is an invaluable text and reference book for a
wide range of teachers, students, and researchers.
