Description: Nutrition and
Metabolism: Underlying Mechanisms and Clinical Consequences brings together
internationally recognized experts to comprehensively review our current
understanding of how nutrition interacts with the genetic substrate as well as
environmental-exogenous factors, including physical activity or the lack
thereof, to result in insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome.
After presenting
the scope of the problem, the first major part of the book is devoted to
genetics and pathophysiology, the second part of the book presents the public
health perspective of the most prevalent problems associated with nutrition and
the metabolic syndrome, whereas the third major part of the book focuses on
clinical assessment and management of the main disease states associated with
inappropriate nutrition and the metabolic syndrome. Finally, general
information useful for both clinicians and researchers alike is presented in
the Appendix.
Nutrition and
Metabolism: Underlying Mechanisms and Clinical Consequences offers the reader
an up-to-date and authoritative review of the major scientific and clinical
aspects of the overlapping areas between nutrition and metabolism.
