Nutrition is a complex phenomenon attributed to all living beings. It has many different aspects, the consideration of which is usually divided between completely different experts with different motivations. In the book brought to your attention, the complex phenomenon is considered integratively with the only motivation - to give objective ideas and guidance to navigate in this amazing phenomenon. Very often, nutrition literature imposes on the reader certain recipes/diets, as it were, suitable for all occasions. It is easy to use and convenient for the inexperienced consumer, but unrealistic. It seems to us that the health of each person is the most important for him and understanding the true state of affairs in matters of nutrition deserves certain efforts and knowledge by everyone. In fact, the proposed guide is a personal adviser to everyone to achieve their own goals in life through the right (right for him/her) nutrition. Honest scientifically correct information with minimum specific terminology and without professional jargon.
Unlocking the puzzle of how animals behave and how they interact with their environments is impossible without understanding the physiological processes that determine their use of food resources. But long overdue is a user-friendly introduction to the subject that systematically bridges the gap between physiology and ecology. Ecologists--for whom such knowledge can help clarify the consequences of global climate change, the biodiversity crisis, and pollution--often find themselves wading through an unwieldy, technically top-heavy literature. Here, William Karasov and Carlos Martínez del Rio present the first accessible and authoritative one-volume overview of the physiological and biochemi...
A survey of the extensive field of sucrose alternatives, detailing scientific information, technical applications, and regulatory ratings for a wide array of sweeteners. It highlights the change in status of saccharin, the increased use of polyols, and the possibilities provided by the availability of a variety of alternative sweeteners and their uses in combination. This third edition contains new chapters on neotame, tagatose, trehalose, erythritol, and aspartame-acesulfame salt.
Spectral Data for Steroids provides a comprehensive compilation of spectral data for 211 steroids. The compounds are arranged on the basis of their molecular structures:
The intestine, particularly the small bowel, represents a large surface (in the adult 2 human approximately 200 m ) through which the body is exposed to its environ ment. A vigorous substrate exchange takes place across this large surface: nutrients and xenobiotics are absorbed from the lumen into the bloodstream or the lymph, and simultaneously, the same types of substrate pass back into the lumen. The luminal surface of the intestine is lined with a "leaky" epithelium, thus the passage of the substrates, in either direction, proceeds via both transcellular and intercellular routes. Simple and carrier-mediated diffusion, active transport, pinocytosis, phagocytosis and persorption are all in...
