America on Steroids
The author describes the burgeoning public health crisis evident in the increasing use of anabolic steroids (AAS) by non-athletes. He compares this phase of the AAS crisis to that of the opioid crisis several years ago when all the signs of crisis were apparent, but overlooked and unaddressed. He points out that currently at least 4 million men, women and teens are using AAS, solely for cosmetic reasons and uninformed of their dangers. The author, Dr. Thomas O'Connor, a board certified internist with a sub-specialty in men's health and anabolic steroid recovery, describes the physiological and psychological factors contributing to AAS addiction by 15-30% of users. He warns of the many seriou...
Endocrine and Metabolic Testing Manual
The Endocrine and Metabolic Testing Manual provides a succinct, practical guide for endocrinologists, nurses, and their staffs who need to make informed endocrine diagnoses using detailed standard methods and the most cost-effective procedures. The Third Edition features 29 new tests. In addition, a new section, Indications for Test, has been generated for most of the tests described, which identifies the most commonly accepted reasons for testing. The Third Edition also includes the latest CPT codes and indicates those in which direct physician involvement is particularly important. The testing of all endocrine organ systems, diabetes-related problems, renal, lipoprotein disorders, and physical fitness is addressed and helpful algorithms are presented. The manual offers a perspective on the most useful of a wide variety of tests aimed at making an endocrine diagnosis. Health care planners are sure to appreciate the estimate of supply costs useful for reimbursement of this aspect of testing.
Neural and Metabolic Control of Macronutrient Intake
When an excessive proportion of the human energy requirement is derived from fat, the likelihood of obesity increases. Any such individual is at risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease- grave and costly health hazards. The selective control of fat ingestion is a promising solution to these concerns. Existing data suggests that macronutrient intake can be manipulated. Further research is working to create pharmacological tools that will suppress fat consumption. It will also be possible to fight obesity, heart disease and diabetes. Neural and Metabolic Control of Macronutrient Intake systematically discusses the known physiological mechanisms involved in macronutrientselection, including...
Methods for Investigation of Amino Acid and Protein Metabolism
Containing all the new as well as classical methodologies used in the investigation of amino acid and protein metabolism in human and animal models, this book is needed because of the dramatic increase in research in this field. There is no other book currently on the market that covers these methods of investigation. Methods for Investigation of Amino Acid and Protein Metabolism explores areas such as amino acid transfer across tissue membranes, past and new applications using stable isotopes, protein synthesis in organs and tissues, and more. Because of the importance of research methods in the field of amino acid and protein nutrition and metabolism, this book facilitates the reader's integration of the concepts involved in these investigative research methods and their corollaries. In addition to helping any nutrition investigator design and conduct appropriate research protocols in this area of nutrition, this book assists students who are planning to investigate amino acid and protein metabolism in humans or laboratory animals.
Proteins of Iron Metabolism
Proteins of Iron Metabolism presents a clear picture of the structure and function of the main proteins involved in iron metabolism. The book gives you a detailed description of the structure and function of each protein, and discusses the structure and regulation of the corresponding genes in parallel. It supplies an analysis of the differential e
Modelling Metabolism with Mathematica
With the advent of sophisticated general programming environments like Mathematica, the task of developing new models of metabolism and visualizing their responses has become accessible to students of biochemistry and the life sciences in general. Modelling Metabolism with Mathematica presents the approaches, methods, tools, and algorithms for mode
A Handbook of Bioanalysis and Drug Metabolism
Recent years have seen a greater industrial emphasis in undergraduate and postgraduate courses in the pharmaceutical and chemical sciences. However, textbooks have been slow to adapt, leaving the field without a text/reference that is both instructional and practical in the industrial setting – until now. A Handbook of Bioanalysis and Drug Metabolismis a stimulating new text that examines the techniques, methodology, and theory of bioanalysis, pharmacokinetics, and metabolism from the perspective of scientists with extensive professional experience in drug discovery and development. These three areas of research help drug developers to optimize the active component within potential drugs t...
Modern Dietary Fat Intakes in Disease Promotion
The Nutrition and Health series of books have had great success because each volume has the consistent overriding mission of providing health professionals with texts that are essential because each includes (1) a synthesis of the state of the science, (2) timely, in-depth reviews by the leading researchers in their respective ?elds, (3) extensive, up-to-date fully annotated ref- ence lists, (4) a detailed index, (5) relevant tables and ?gures, (6) identi?cation of paradigm shifts and the consequences, (7) virtually no overlap of information between chapters, but targeted, inter-chapter referrals, (8) suggestions of areas for future research, and (9) balanced, data-driven answers to patient ...
Gender Differences in Metabolism
Gender Differences in Metabolism: Practical and Nutritional Implications is the first book to successfully integrate nutritional science, exercise physiology/medicine, and metabolism. This volume explores recent scientific evidence that male and female athletes exhibit different metabolic responses and, therefore, differ in their nutritional needs and advice. Anyone interested in good health, exercise, and nutrition will find this book a valuable resource.
Energy-Yielding Macronutrients and Energy Metabolism in Sports Nutrition
Detailing the energy-yielding macronutrients, carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins, this book discusses the body's need for these nutrients for growth, development and exercise. This book and its companion book "Macroelements, Water, and Electrolytes in Sports Nutrition" address the relationship of macronutrient and macroelement needs and interactions to sports and exercise. Ideal for individuals working in research in the energy areas of sports nutrition, Energy Yielding Macronutrients & Energy Metabolism in Sports Nutrition includes reviews of digestion, absorption, energy gains from energy-yielding macronutrients, nutritional implications of gender and age differences in energy metabolism, and weight loss and gain as influenced by caloric needs. Containing work by both editors and contributors accomplished in the field, this book provides new and provocative insights into the relationship between energy-yielding macronutrients and exercise.
