Описание:
Molecular Nutrition: Carbohydrates presents the nutritional and molecular aspects of carbohydrates. A part of the Molecular Nutrition series, this book is divided into three sections: general and introductory aspects, molecular biology of the cell, and genetic machinery and its function.
The first section, general and introductory aspects, presents coverage on general aspects of carbohydrate metabolism, carbohydrates in the diet and insulin resistance, dietary sugars, cardiometabolic risk, lipoproteins, low-carbohydrate diets, antioxidants, refined dietary sugars, fats, amino acid and gaining.
The second section, molecular biology of the cell, includes material on glucose transporters, glucose sensing, the role of phosphorylation, carbohydrate responsive binding protein, cyclic AMP, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors, SIRT1, the endocannabinoid system, and anthocyanins.
The third section, genetic machinery and its function, addresses has material on genome-wide association studies (GWAS), genotypes and abnormal carbohydrate metabolism, polymorphisms and focused areas on specific SNPS, insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and GIP receptor (GIPR) genes rRNA and transcription.
The book also addresses emerging fields of molecular biology and presents important discoveries related to diet and nutritional health.
Summarizes molecular nutrition in health as related to carbohydrates
Addresses emerging fields of molecular biology and presents important discoveries related to diet and nutritional health
Includes key facts, a mini dictionary of terms, and summary points
Описание: As in other scientific fields, the importance of boundary areas in wood research, such as that between lignin chemistry and hemicellulose chemis- try, continues to increase. Although the utilization of individual wood components has advanced to an appreciable extent, research into oligo- merie or polymerie compounds of two or more different components has made little progress. By contrast, in other fields, glycoproteins and pro te- oglycans have been found to form biochemical active centers in enzymes and microbes. The association between lignin and carbohydrates in lignified plants was first recognized in 1866. However, research has advanced slowly because of difficulty in the isolation and determination of wood glycocon- jugates, whieh likely have an important influence on the formation of wood, pulping behavior, pulp quality and digestibility by ruminants. Most plants contain both hydrophilie polysaccharides and hydrophobie lignins in their tissues. Lignins have been recognized to not only give mechanieal strength or rigidity to a tree or wood, but also to prevent invasion by fungi, and provide cell wall material, especially in the tracheids and vessels that deliver water extracted from the soil to the top of woody plants. How- ever, in trees, lignins have been found to interact with the polysaccharides, partieularly hemicelluloses, with whieh they coexist, leading to the forma- tion of another chemical component, a kind of glycoconjugate. Therefore, it is necessary to inc1ude lignin or p-hydroxycinnamie acids in any discus- sion on wood hemieelluloses.
The authors' aim is to offer the reader the fundamentals of numerous mathematical methods with accompanying practical environmental applications.
The material in this book addresses mathematical calculations common to both the environmental science and engineering professionals. It provides the reader with nearly 100 solved illustrative examples and the interrelationship between both theory and applications is emphasized in nearly all of the 35 chapters. One key feature of this book is that the solutions to the problems are presented in a stand-alone manner. Throughout the book, the illustrative examples are laid out in such a way as to develop the reader's technical understanding of the subject in question, with more difficult examples located at or near the end of each set.
In presenting the text material, the authors have stressed the pragmatic approach in the application of mathematical tools to assist the reader in grasping the role of mathematical skills in environmental problem-solving situations. The book is divided up into 5 parts:
Introduction; Analytical Analysis; Numerical Analysis; Statistical Analysis; and Optimization.
The analytical analysis includes graphical, trial-and-error, search, etc. methods.
The numerical analysis includes integration, differentiation, differential equation, Monte Carlo, etc.
The statistical analysis includes probability, probability distribution, decision trees, regression analysis, etc.
Optimization includes both traditional approaches and linear programming.
Описание: Extensively updated to include advances in the field, this classic guide unites principles of transport phenomena with environmental processes. It covers the fundamentals of mass and momentum transport processes, emphasizing aerosol and colloidal systems.
