The Impact of Maternal Nutrition on the Offspring
Maternal nutritional status affects the offsprings health development significantly during early embryogenesis, pregnancy, birth and lactation, and subsequently determines health during growth and even throughout adulthood. On the other end of the human lifetime scale, the importance of maternal nutrition expands into the time period before conception: Pre-conception nutritional status not only influences fertility, but also embryogenesis and life-long health. Predisposition for coronary heart diseases, Type-2 diabetes mellitus, and hypertension can be caused by intrauterine adaptations to fetal malnutrition. Hence, optimizing nutrition for women during their reproductive period can be expec...

The Big Fat Surprise
A New York Times bestseller Named one of The Economist’s Books of the Year 2014 Named one of The Wall Street Journal’s Top Ten Best Nonfiction Books of 2014 Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Books of 2014 Forbes’s Most Memorable Healthcare Book of 2014 In The Big Fat Surprise, investigative journalist Nina Teicholz reveals the unthinkable: that everything we thought we knew about dietary fat is wrong. She documents how the low-fat nutrition advice of the past sixty years has amounted to a vast uncontrolled experiment on the entire population, with disastrous consequences for our health. For decades, we have been told that the best possible diet involves cutting back on fat, especially sat...
Dietary Fats, Prostanoids and Arterial Thrombosis
Knowledge of mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of occlusive arterial dis eases is fundamental for the design of prevention and treatment. A series of studies based on in vitro investigations, the experimental animal and the human being have slowly increased our understanding of cardiovascular diseases and unveiled their secrets to us. Over the last 60 years it has been generally assumed that dietary fats and lipids and the occurrence of atherosclerosis are closely related. Yet, even if epidemiological studies clearly indicate the existence of an association between the amount of composition of dietary lipids and morbidity and mortality of cardio vascular disease, our basic knowledge on...
Maximum Muscle, Minimum Fat
The author of The Warrior Diet shares his revolutionary approach to physical transformation, offering practical guidance on how to build and maintain a leaner, stronger, and healthier body Diet and fitness books appear at a dizzying rate—and with a wealth of dubious claims—in a culture facing increasing health problems based on a sedentary lifestyle. Ori Hofmekler’s Maximum Muscle, Minimum Fat pulls out of the pack by focusing on the biological principles that dictate muscle gain and fat loss. Written for the widest readership—competitive athletes, bodybuilders, trainers, martial artists, sports nutritionists and coaches, dieters, and anyone concerned about their health—the book bu...
DHA
In this breakthrough book for preventive medicine, Gormley, the award-winning editor of "Better Nutrition" magazine and one of America's foremost experts on supplemental nutrition, draws on cutting-edge research from around the world to explain the benefits of DHA and other omega-3 fats. With rich insight and clear language, he traces the evolution of these studies and explains how to make DHA a beneficial part of one's diet.
Nutrition and Biochemistry of Phospholipids
Phospholipids are involved in many intrinsic applications within the cell and are part of all major tissue and concentrated in vital organs that require neuronal interactions. This book contains the program presented at the 8th International Congress of ILPS and includes sessions covering phospholipids metabolism in brain function, choline and galactosphingolipids in health and disease, phospholipids in cardiovascular, liver, and muscle health, and finally, phospholipids in infant nutrition. This book, which contains these current research activities and updates, should stimulate the scientific community to continue working on phospholipids in biochemistry and nutrition.
Essential Fatty Acids and Eicosanoids
Papers from the March 1992 conference explore the importance of EFA and eicosanoids on living organisms. Organization is around five interrelated themes: examination of the biological function of docosahexaenoic acid at the fundamental level of molecular and cellular research; biosynthesis of PUFA in mammals; types of biological markers that can provide information about the adequacy of EFA intake; role that EFA and eicosanoids play in the development of disease states; and in the nutrition of the fetus and newly born infants, especially those born prematurely.
