Download or read book Nutrition and the Adult written by Roslyn B. Alfin-Slater and published by Springer. This book was released on 1980 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The science of nutrition has advanced beyond expectation since Antoine La voisier as early as the 18th century showed that oxygen was necessary to change nutrients in foods to compounds which would become a part of the human body. He was also the first to measure metabolism and to show that oxidation within the body produces heat and energy. In the two hundred years that have elapsed, the essentiality of nitrogen-containing nutrients and of proteins for growth and maintenance of tissue has been established; the ne cessity for carbohydrates and certain types of fat for health has been docu mented; vitamins necessary to prevent deficiency diseases have been identified and isolated; and the requirement of many mineral elements for health has been demonstrated. Further investigations have defined the role of these nutrients in metabolic processes and quantitated their requirements at various stages of development. Additional studies have involved their use in the possible prevention of, and therapy for, disease conditions.

Download or read book Chemistry of Natural Products written by Sujata V. Bhat and published by Alpha Science Int'l Ltd.. This book was released on 2005 with total page 878 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last few decades, research into natural products has advanced tremendously thanks to contributions from the fields of chemistry, life sciences, food science and material sciences. Comparisons of natural products from microorganisms, lower eukaryotes, animals, higher plants and marine organisms are now well documented. This book provides an easy-to-read overview of natural products. It includes twelve chapters covering most of the aspects of natural products chemistry. Eac chapter covers general introduction, nomenclature, occurrence, isolation, detection, structure elucidation both by degradation and spectroscopic techniques, biosynthesis, synthesis, biological activity and commercial applications, if any, of the compounds mentioned in each topic. Therefore it will be useful for students, other researchers and industry. The introduction to each chapter is brief and attempts only to supply general knowledge in the particular field. Furthermore, at the end of each chapter there is a list of recommended books for additional study and a list of relevant questions for practice.
Download or read book Vitamin and Mineral Requirements in Human Nutrition written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2004 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past 20 years micronutrients have assumed great public health importance and a considerable amount of research has lead to increasing knowledge of their physiological role. Because it is a rapidly developing field, the WHO and FAO convened an Expert Consultation to evaluate the current state of knowledge. It had three main tasks: to review the full scope of vitamin and minerals requirements; to draft and adopt a report which would provide recommended nutrient intakes for vitamins A, C, D, E, and K; the B vitamins; calcium; iron; magnesium; zinc; selenium; and iodine; to identify key issues for future research and make preliminary recommendations for the handbook. This report contains the outcome of the Consultation, combined with up-to-date evidence that has since become available.

Download or read book Evolution of Evidence for Selected Nutrient and Disease Relationships written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-05-14 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Committee on Examination of the Evolving Science for Dietary Supplements of the Institute of Medicine's Food and Nutrition Board was directed to review, retrospectively, selected case studies of diet and health relationships that were relevant to dietary supplements and identified as important in the National Research Council report, Diet and Health: Implications for Chronic Disease Risk (D&H) (NRC, 1989). It was then to determine the extent to which subsequent scientific evidence from the peerreviewed literature used in published reports from the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) series (IOM, 1997, 1998, 2000a, 2001) either agreed with the preliminary evidence used to support the relationship identified originally in the 1989 review or significantly modified the original hypotheses and preliminary conclusions. The committee's analysis was to include characteristics of research with apparent high probability of predicting future confirmation by new science in support of a diet and health relationship. It also was to consider characteristics of information useful to consumers that would allow them to make scientifically informed judgments about the role that a specific food component or nutrient plays in health.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Information on the human requirements for specific nutrients has been brought together from thousands of international sources, both in current research and historical literature. Clinical researchers, nutrition educators and postgraduate and undergraduate students will find reviews of studies on the needs of healthy people of all ages for protein, amino acids, vitamins A and C, calcium, zinc, iron, copper and folacin. The status of research on these nutrients can be readily ascertained and used to provide a basis for further investigation or for teaching. Each chapter begins with a general introduction and a review of early studies. Some of the topics included are maintenance requirements, factors that influence nutrient status, needs of specific groups, nutrient reserves and absorption, supplementation, and environmental factors. Comments or conclusions for each section provide a synthesis of current knowledge and identify the needs for further research.
