Metabolic Regulation

A Human Perspective - 2nd Edition

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Metabolic Regulation examines the collective functioning of molecules, cells, and tissues in human health and disease through integrative physiology. Since the first edition, significant advancements in understanding metabolism regulation have emerged, such as the discovery of leptin and insights into gene expression. This updated edition incorporates these advancements and presents a wealth of new material. It covers integrated concepts and mechanisms, digestion and absorption, organ functions, endocrine systems, carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism, the nervous system's role in metabolism, lipoprotein metabolism, diabetes mellitus, energy balance, body weight regulation, and the body's response to extreme conditions. Authored by Keith Frayn, a seasoned expert in the field, this book is noted for its clarity and serves as a valuable resource for scientists, practitioners, and students in various health-related disciplines, including nutrition, dietetics, sports science, and nursing. Additionally, it offers significant insights for students of medicine, physiology, biochemistry, and biological sciences. It is highly recommended for libraries in research institutions, universities, and medical schools where these subjects are taught. Frayn holds the position of Professor of Human Metabolism at the University of Oxford, UK.
