"Biochemistry of Nutrition" is a well-established textbook for students of nutritional science and an important reference work for nutritionists, medical professionals, biologists, and chemists. This textbook is distinguished by its different focus: instead of being organized according to chemical-descriptive criteria and thus by substance classes, this didactically outstanding textbook centers on function at the cellular and organism levels. As such, cell biology forms a detailed introductory section. The passage of substances through biological membranes, as well as the regulation of metabolism at the level of enzymatic catalysis and hormones, are key topics. The second part of the book is dedicated to the organ specificity of biochemical processes. It describes the pathway of nutrients through the human body: from...
