摘要

Introduction to Nutrition and Metabolism is, in the Publisher’snwords, ‘an authoritative description of the nutritional bio-nchemistry essential to understanding nutrient function’. Thisndescription is well justified; the clear accounts of metabolicnpathways, their integration and control, and their nutritionalnand physiological importance are detailed, but easy tonfollow. The book contains eleven chapters in just under 400npages, and begins with a chapter on why we need to eat.
