Molecular Nutrition: Nutrition and the Evolution of Humankind:
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
This pioneering text draws from molecular nutrition, nutritional sciences, dietetics, genetics, genomics, and anthropology to examine how chemical nutrients and genetics shape the human species. It presents a vital portrait of the fundamental role that nutrition has played and continues to play in shaping who and what human beings are, where we evolved from, and where we might be headed as a species.
The author's innovative molecular biological approach moves the field of nutrition well beyond its traditional dietetic and anthropological origins to the front lines of genomic research. Following a presentation of molecular biology concepts that are essential for the study of human nutrition, the author explores such key topics as:
Bioinformatics and the -omics revolution
Recent human evolution
Molecular mechanisms of gene-nutrient interactions
Role of nutrients and genomics in disease
Evolution of micronutrient metabolism, protein structure, and human disease
Nutrients and the human life cycle
Mismatch of contemporary dietary patterns and our genetic makeup
Laboratory tools for nutrigenomics and human evolutionary studies
Figures and illustrations provided throughout the text help readers grasp and visualize complex concepts and processes with ease. For readers interested in pursuing particular topics in greater depth, an extensive list of current references is provided.
This text is ideal for undergraduate and graduate students in human nutrition, dietetics, metabolism, molecular biology, and many other allied health sciences. Nowhere else can readers find such an integrated blend of medical, nutritional, and biochemical disciplines to aid in understanding the role of nutrients in human evolution.
