Beschreibung

The updated bestselling guide to human metabolism and metabolic regulation The revised and comprehensively updated new edition of Human Metabolism (formerly Metabolic Regulation - A Human Perspective) offers a current and integrated review of metabolism and metabolic regulation. The authors explain difficult concepts in clear and concise terms in order to provide an accessible and essential guide to the topic. This comprehensive text covers a wide range of topics such as energy balance, body weight regulation, exercise, and how the body copes with extreme situations, and illustrates how metabolic regulation allows the human body to adapt to many different conditions. This fourth edition has been revised with a new full colour text design and helpful illustrations that illuminate the regulatory mechanisms by which all cells control the metabolic processes necessary for life. The text includes chapter summaries and additional explanatory text that help to clarify the information presented. In addition, the newly revised edition includes more content on metabolic pathways and metabolic diseases. This important resource: * Is a valuable tool for scientists, practitioners and students across a broad range of health sciences including medicine, biochemistry, nutrition, dietetics, sports science and nursing * Includes a full colour text filled with illustrations and additional diagrams to aid understanding * Offers a companion website with additional learning and teaching resources. Written for students of medicine, biochemistry, nutrition, dietetics, sports science and nursing, Human Metabolism has been revised and updated to provide a comprehensive review of metabolism and metabolic regulation.

Rezensionen


Praise for the 4th edition
(Physiology News Autumn 2019, Issue 116)
"Frayn and Evans have done a marvellous job of updating this textbook to reflect recent developments in metabolic research ... I now have the relatively simple task of updating my reading list for this coming year's lectures to recommend this terrific new edition."
(Clinical Nutrition)
"This textbook has been a masterpiece since the first edition ... by giving a superb explanation of human metabolism to range a wide readers and students. "Human Metabolism" has remained a favorite reference for many teachers of students of a variety of medical programs be it medicine, nursing or biochemistry ... With each edition the book has improved by providing up to date information in a key and basic field of medicine where knowledge has been moving very fast in the last 25 years."
(The Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists)
"Based on its highly regarded predecessor - Metabolic Regulation: A Human Perspective - this book has been given a noticeable overhaul in both content and title. Unlike the many other texts available that are dominated by the intricacies of biochemistry, this book seeks to offer readers from clinical and sports science backgrounds practical insights into human metabolism ... The authors' relaxed writing styles make reading about complex themes interesting and, dare I say it, fun ... The readability also extends to the layout, which is uncluttered and easy to navigate. Abundant colourful diagrams interspersed throughout succeed in consolidating the knowledge conveyed narratively in the text ... Human Metabolism is undoubtedly a highly readable resource that will have broad appeal for those with an interest in physiology and nutrition. Overall, I would certainly recommend it as a useful addition to any trainee's library."

Praise for the previous edition
(Doug Tygar, Professor of Computer Science & Information, UC Berkeley, USA)
"I had the great pleasure of reading your impressive text. While I realize that your intended market is certainly not people such as myself (I read it to better understand my own health and body), it is surprisingly well suited for that purpose: being both dense in useful information and surprisingly accessible to non-specialist readers. I appreciated several things about your book -- that you kept the text relatively short for an academic text; that you made it largely self-contained (I especially appreciate your care in providing internal cross references in the book); that you put much of the content into tables, boxes, and diagrams ... I learned a great deal from the book, and it has substantially increased the quality of my interactions with my own physician"
(Clinical Nutrition)
"It is hard to find a textbook that gives a better basis for the understanding of Human metabolism and nutrition, that is so well designed and actually quite fun to read as this one. This book is my first choice for a textbook for my medical students and for nursing school too. It is well suited for any kind of studies of metabolism at a higher level because of its ease at explaining the basics and the frameworks needed for the understanding of metabolism. It is the first book I give to my doctorial students when they need to freshen up their knowledge and the basics in metabolism when starting research in clinical nutrition and metabolism...if anyone is looking for the most interesting and fun book to read as an in depth introduction to human metabolism and nutrition, this is it!"
