| Tóm tắt: | Research interest in the biochemistry of amino acids continues apace, generating significant
dividends for nutritional support and the elucidation of mechanisms underlying a variety of
disorders in humans. The remarkable scale of recent developments has provided the impetus
for publication of this first edition of Amino Acids in Human Nutrition and Health. It was deemed
appropriate to formally acknowledge these advances within a comprehensive volume. The
recruitment of authors with exceptional merit constituted an integral part of my strategy.
There appears to be a demand for a book which integrates recent advances relating to amino
acids within the two disciplines of nutrition and health. Various symposia have been convened on
certain aspects covered in this book, but the published proceedings are distributed in different
issues of journals, thereby compromising convenience for consultation by students and research
staff. It is an unfortunate reflection of our time that university libraries cannot afford to stock some
of the primary journals that have, in the recent past, been judged to be essential reading for
advanced students. The publication of Amino Acids in Human Nutrition and Health might be viewed
as an attempt to rectify this deficiency. Furthermore, the symposia have focused on restricted
themes, whereas this volume is designed to address a comprehensive range of issues. The reviews
in published proceedings of symposia have also been restricted to a few pages per article, but
there is a need for in-depth coverage to more appropriately reflect current developments.
This volume is designed for academic, research, and corporate establishments worldwide,
particularly in Europe, the United States, Canada, Japan, and Australia, but generally in all coun-
tries where English is a primary medium for education and research. This book should appeal to
final year undergraduate and graduate students as well as to research staff. It is anticipated that
it will be recommended reading for courses in general and clinical biochemistry, medicine, nurs-
ing, human nutrition and food science. The text is also designed with the commercial sector in
mind, particularly pharmaceutical companies with extensive R&D laboratories. |
