Molecular nutrition (the study of interactions between nutrients and various intracellular and extracellular molecules) is one of the most rapidly developing fields in nutritional science. Ultimately, molecular nutrition research will reveal how nutrients may affect fundamental processes such as DNA repair, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. This book is the only single complete volume available reviewing the field of molecular nutrition. It contains contributions from leading international experts, and reviews the most important and latest research from various areas of molecular nutrition.

With growing awareness of nutrition as the key factor for maintaining health, nutrition research has become a task of international importance. This new text provides important, forward-looking information for all scientists active in nutrition research as well as for funding organisations, universities, and research administration. The authors describe the international development of nutrition research, its current and future goals, as well as the methods used in the field. Includes recommendations for improving research.
