Unlike the many other texts available that are dominated by the intricacies of biochemistry, this book seeks to offer readers from clinical and sports science backgrounds practical insights into human metabolism ... The authors’ relaxed writing styles make reading about complex themes interesting and, dare I say it, fun ... The readability also extends to the layout, which is uncluttered and easy to navigate. Abundant colourful diagrams interspersed throughout succeed in consolidating the knowledge conveyed narratively in the text ... \u003ci\u003eHuman Metabolism\u003c\/i\u003e is undoubtedly a highly readable resource that will have broad appeal for those with an interest in physiology and nutrition.

While I realize that your intended market is certainly not people such as myself (I read it to better understand my own health and body), it is surprisingly well suited for that purpose: being both dense in useful information and surprisingly accessible to non-specialist readers.  I appreciated several things about your book -- that you kept the text relatively short for an academic text; that you made it largely self-contained (I especially appreciate your care in providing internal cross references in the book); that you put much of the content into tables, boxes, and diagrams … I learned a great deal from the book, and it has substantially increased the quality of my interactions with my own physician” \u003cb\u003e(Doug Tygar, Professor of Computer Science \u0026amp; Information, UC Berkeley, USA)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"It is hard to find a textbook that gives a better basis for the understanding of Human metabolism and nutrition, that is so well designed and actually quite fun to read as this one. This book is my first choice for a textbook for my medical students and for nursing school too. It is well suited for any kind of studies of metabolism at a higher level because of its ease at explaining the basics and the frameworks needed for the understanding of metabolism. It is the first book I give to my doctorial students when they need to freshen up their knowledge and the basics in metabolism when starting research in clinical nutrition and metabolism...if anyone is looking for the most interesting and fun book to read as an in depth introduction to human metabolism and nutrition, this is it!\" \u003cb\u003e(\u003ci\u003eClinical Nutrition\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface vi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbbreviations vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the companion website xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 The underlying principles of human metabolism 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Cellular aspects of metabolic regulation 48\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Coordination of metabolism in the whole body 76\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Digestion and intestinal absorption 93\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Metabolic specialisation of organs and tissues 118\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Communication systems 173\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Integration of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism in normal daily life 204\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Metabolic challenges: Coping with some extreme physiological situations 245\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Metabolic challenges: Coping with some pathological situations 277\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Lipoprotein metabolism and atherosclerosis 302\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Energy balance and body weight regulation 325\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 Diabetes mellitus 346\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 365\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49407034982743,"sku":"9781119331438","price":46.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781119331438.jpg?v=1730497951","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/human-metabolism-9781119331438","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
