This book covers the biochemistry of amino acid metabolism in the context of health and disease. It discusses their use as food supplements, in clinical therapy and nutritional support and focuses on major recent developments, highlighting new areas of research that will be needed to sustain further interest in the field. It is suitable researchers and students in human nutrition and food science. 606 $aAmino acids in human nutrition 606 $aAmino acids$xMetabolism 615 0$aAmino acids in human nutrition. 615 0$aAmino acids$xMetabolism. 676 $a612.015756 676 $a612/.015756 701 $aD'Mello$b J.
