Gain a complete understanding of nutrition’s role in health and disease! With its comprehensive, easy-to-read format, Biochemical, Physiological, and Molecular Aspects of Human Nutrition, 5^th Edition, provides clear, concise coverage of advanced nutrition concepts at the molecular, cellular, tissue, and whole-body levels. Written by a team of nutrition experts, this edition address nutrients by classification, and describes macronutrient function from digestion to metabolism. Fully updated artwork and new features such as bolded summary headings and additional boxes and tables enhance readability and present new research and findings in an easily digestible format.

New to This Edition
- NEW! Completely updated content reflects current practice, as well as emerging scientific techniques and paradigms, including:
  - Novel transporters and enzymes identified through molecular screening and epidemiological approaches
  - Determinants of interindividual variability in nutrient handling and requirements ("precision nutrition"), including genotype and the microbiome
  - Enhanced understanding of nutrient partitioning and fluxes stemming from the increased use of stable isotope tracing to study metabolism
  - Characterization of rare genetic disorders that affect the metabolism of nutrients
- NEW! Systematic approach considers the links between nutrients and health with an emphasis on transparent, reproducible, and graded evidence synthesis approaches
- NEW! Global perspective explores nutrient intake estimates and recommendations from various countries and examines nutrition-related problems facing the modern, globalized world and the challenges in maintaining and updating country-specific nutrient references
Key Features
- More than 40 expert contributors provide the latest information on all areas of the nutrition sciences
- Color figures help clarify key concepts and complex physiological and metabolic processes
- Bold summary headings make it easier to find key information and review main points in each chapter
- Thinking Critically sections within boxes and at the end of chapters help in applying scientific knowledge to real-life situations
- Nutrition Insight boxes discuss hot topics and take a closer look at basic science and everyday nutrition
- Clinical Correlation boxes show the connection between nutrition-related problems and their effects on normal metabolism
- Additional boxes and tables throughout the text call attention to important topics including, Food Sources boxes; DRIs Across the Life Cycle boxes; and Historical Tidbits boxes
