Forfatter:
The important Third Edition of this successful book conveys a modern and integrated picture of metabolism and metabolic regulation. Presenting a difficult subject with unequalled clarity, author Keith Frayn provides the reader with an essential guide to the subject. Metabolic Regulation, Third Edition, covers in an integrated way: concepts and mechanisms, digestion and intestinal absorption, organs and tissues, endocrine organs and hormones, the integration of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism, the nervous system and metabolism, lipoprotein metabolism, diabetes mellitus, energy balance and body weight regulation and how the body copes with some extreme situations. Changes for the new edition include: Extensive updates; 2 colour diagrams throughout; and, Q&A sections at the end of each chapter to facilitate learning. Frayn has written a book which will continue to be an extremely valuable tool for scientists, practitioners and students working and studying across a broad range of allied health sciences including nutrition, dietetics, sports science and nursing.
