The Vitamins: Chemistry, Physiology, Pathology, Methods, Volume II, Second Edition covers the chemical, physiological, pathological, and methodological aspects of various vitamins. This book is organized around the various vitamins with the physical, chemical, microbiological, and animal assays for each vitamin being discussed in a single chapter. This volume contains three chapters. Each chapter concerns the chemistry, industrial production, biogenesis, biochemistry, deficiency effects, requirements, pharmacology, and pathology of each of the vitamins. The vitamins evaluated include vitamin B6 and B12 groups and biotin. This book will be of value to practitioners, investigators, teachers, and students, who wants to better understand the role of the vitamins in biology.
Chemical and Biological Aspects of Pyridoxal Catalysis contains the proceedings of the symposium of the International Union of Biochemistry, held in Rome in October 1962. The proceedings cover the lectures, discussions, and scientific papers on the many aspects of pyridoxal biochemistry. The book presents a wide range of topics of pyridoxal biochemistry, starting with a brief review of the history of the chemistry of vitamin B6 and pyridoxal-containing systems, and their significance in the understanding of the catalytic effects of pyridoxal. Structural features of glutamic aspartic transaminase; studies on leucine decarboxylase; cleavage of cystamine by diamineoxidase; and enzymatic steps in the degradation of vitamin B6 by bacteria are also discussed. The final chapter gives a brief survey of the developments in the study of catalytic functions and biological role of PLP enzymes. Biochemists, biologists, chemists, enzymologists, pharmacologists, and physicians will find this book invaluable.
The Vitamins: Chemistry, Physiology, Pathology, Methods, Volume VII, Second Edition covers the chemical, physiological, pathological, and methodological aspects of various vitamins. This book is organized around the various vitamins with the physical, chemical, microbiological, and animal assays for each vitamin being discussed in a single chapter. This volume contains 11 chapters and begins with a survey of the principles, procedure, and other general considerations of microbiological assay. The succeeding nine chapters demonstrate the extraction and analysis of various vitamins, including ascorbic acid, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, pantothenic acid, folic acid, vitamin B12, and biotin. The concluding chapter looks in to the fundamental principles of nutritional evaluation, with an emphasis on the clinical evaluation of malnutrition. This book will be of value to nutritionists, dieticians, food scientists, technologists, and researchers.
