About the Book

This work on the role of vitamins in human health and nutrition presents research on their many important non-coenzyme functions such as antioxidant activity and hormone-like and regulatory roles. It discusses the effect of genetic and environmental factors on requirements for vitamins as well as tissue-specific variations in requirements. The book also presents recent nutritional epidemiology research indicating that risk of many chronic diseases is lower in populations consuming foods high in certain vitamins. This volume should interest those in the field of nutrition, medicine, biochemistry, dietetics, pharmacology and physiology.
