Opis

This book compiles the scientific content of the International Symposium on Energy & Protein Metabolism and Nutrition, 2003. Specialists from all over the world working in energy and protein metabolism research assembled to discuss scientific matters of physiology, nutrition, immunology and genetics. All the scientific contributions, whether presented as oral communications or posters, are published in this book. Additionally to these more than 150 articles and ten review papers, presented by invited speakers, give an overview of state-of-the-art research in special research areas of energy and protein metabolism. The book presents contemporary research in topics of energy metabolism such as the environmental aspects of energy homeostasis, dietary and genetic aspects and tissue, organ and whole body energy metabolism and methodology. This compilation also gives insight into protein research, such as protein metabolism and microbiology in the gastro-intestinal tract and requirements and post-absorptive metabolism of amino acids. Other topics concerning genes and nutrition and modelling and regulation of energy and protein status are also of common interest.
