Diet and Resistance to Disease
Intuitively, we realize that animals that are well fed and well cared for are healthier than animals that are not well fed or well cared for. Although nutritionists have long been concerned with minimum nutrient requirements for maximal growth rate and maintenance, it has been only recently that investiagators have begun to look at the nutritional requirements that provide optimal health. The increasingly sophisticated methods of immunology have allowed investigators to define indicators of resistance to disease such as cell mediated immunity, lymphocyte functions, and macrophage functions. When these immunological tools are combined with the classical methods of nutrition research it is pos...
Eating Disorders in Women and Children
Your daughter, mother, or someone in your care may have an eating disorder. Would you know? Whether you work in health care, counseling, education, athletics, or you are a concerned family member, you will find that Eating Disorders in Women and Children: Prevention, Stress Management, and Treatment develops a broader understanding of eatin
Nutrition in Spaceflight and Weightlessness Models
Tens of thousands of miles above Earth's atmosphere, orbiting this planet like pieces from a child's giant erector set, NASA's massive International Space Station slowly takes shape. When completed, as many as 16 countries will provide crew members for this orbiting international community. But while this will not be the first extended stay of humans in space-Skylab, Mir Space Station, and Shuttle-Mir missions all involved extended-stay periods-it will give birth to some new questions about one of space exploration's biggest concerns: providing adequate nutrition essential to good physical and mental health in space. Nutrition in Spaceflight and Weightlessness Models consolidates nutritional...
Nutritional Anemias
Anemias resulting from nutritional factors constitute the largest nutrition health problem affecting populations in both developed and developing nations. Nutritional Anemias examines these anemias in detail and offers a balanced approach that includes current research findings on the etiology and consequences of this important problem. Th
Vegetables, Fruits, and Herbs in Health Promotion
The use of dietary vegetables and medicinal herbs to improve health is a phenomenon that is taking society by storm. Herbal products are now a multi-billion dollar business. Even more important, this business is built upon extremely little research data. The FDA is pushing the industry-with Congress' help- to base their claims and products on scien
Advances in Isotope Methods for the Analysis of Trace Elements in Man
There is increasing evidence that even minute amounts of trace elements can have profound effects on the human body. Advances in Isotope Methods for the Analysis of Trace Elements in Man describes new methods that are being developed to understand normal and abnormal trace element nutrition and metabolism. This book includes a wealth of pr
Nutrient-Gene Interactions in Health and Disease
We have come to realize that optimal nutrient intake is determined by very specific genetic messages. This realization has led to an entirely new approach to understanding nutrition - the exploration of nutrient effects on gene expression. Edited by leading experts in the field, Nutrient-Gene Interactions in Health and Disease provides an
Nutritional Concerns of Women
Women's health and nutrition concerns have moved to the forefront of research with the mandate by the National Institutes of Health to include women in formerly male-only studies assessing responses to diet and disease. This second edition of a popular and highly praised resource provides new research results that detail the prevalence of and diffe
Advanced Nutrition Micronutrients
Advanced Nutrition: Micronutrients, a continuation of the first Advanced Nutrition text on macronutrients, focuses on how vitamins and minerals operate at the genomic level. It reflects the major research endeavors by nutrition scientists throughout the world in studying nutrient-gene, nutrient-nutrient, and nutrient-drug interactions. The book is
