BRANCHED CHAIN AMINO ACIDS IN CLINICAL NUTRITIO...

This is the first volume in a 2-volume compendium that is the go-to source for both research-
and practice-oriented information on the importance of branched chain amino acids in
maintaining the nutritional status and overall health of individuals  especially those with
certain disease conditions. Over 150 well recognized and respected contributors have come
together to compile these up-to-date and well-referenced works. The volumes will serve the
reader as the benchmarks in this complex area of interrelationships between dietary protein
intakes and individual amino acid supplementation  the unique role of the branched chain amino
acids in the synthesis of brain neurotransmitters  collagen formation  insulin and glucose
modulation and the functioning of all organ systems that are involved in the maintenance of the
body's metabolic integrity. Moreover  the physiological  genetic and pathological interactions
between plasma levels of branched chain amino acids and aromatic amino acids are clearly
delineated so that students as well as practitioners can better understand the complexities of
these interactions.Branched Chain Amino Acids in Clinical Nutrition: Volume 1 covers basic
processes at the cellular level  inherited defects in branched chain amino acid metabolism  and
experimental models of growth and disease states.
