Within the last few years, knowledge about vitamins has increased
dramatically, resulting in improved understanding of human
requirements for many vitamins. This new edition of a bestseller
presents comprehensive summaries that analyze the chemical,
physiological, and nutritional relationships, as well as highlight
newly identified functions, for all recognized vitamins. These
include vitamins A, D, K, E, B6, B12, niacin, riboflavin, thiamine,
pantothenic acid, biotin, folate, choline, and ascorbic acid.
Keeping the tradition of the previous volumes, the Handbook of
Vitamins, Fifth Edition provides an updated, contemporary
perspective on vitamins in human nutrition. Bringing together
leading experts in molecular biology, biochemistry, and physiology,
the book contains substantial revisions in every chapter, covering
vitamin metabolism, including human requirements, clinical aspects
of deficiency, vitamin-dependant cell signals and gene regulation,
and roles as coenzymes. The chapter on epigenetics has been updated
and expanded to include novel findings about vitamins not
previously considered in studies of nutrient-dependent epigenome
modification. The book also contains a new chapter on genome
stability, highlighting current understanding of vitamin-genome
interactions in the evolution of the human genome and the
functional consequences of human genetic variation. Maintaining its
status as a high-quality reference, this handbook incorporates new
discoveries into an updated and revised fifth edition.
