Infos

Advances in molecular and cellular biology, analytical chemistry, and nanotechnology have improved the understanding of vitamin biomechanics and the requirements for human function. This book contains summaries that analyze the chemical, physiological, and nutritional relationships and highlight the identified functions for recognized vitamins.

---

Thoroughly revised and updated, Handbook of Vitamins highlights the recent research in vitamins and gene expression, vitamin-dependent genes, and vitamin effect on DNA stability. This fourth edition includes new chapters on vitamin-dependent modification of chromatin, analysis of vitamin metabolism using accelerated mass spectrometry, and dietary reference intakes for vitamins. Featuring contributions from international experts, it encompasses classical and modern approaches to vitamins, focusing on human nutrition, vitamin analysis, and vitamin action at the molecular level.
