Description

Explore the complex biological processes of nutritional deprivation with this comprehensive scientific text. This book examines how humans and various organisms respond to starvation across different biological scales. It provides a deep look into the physiological landscape of the stationary phase and the molecular events that allow species like Mycobacterium smegmatis to survive long periods without nutrients. Readers will gain insights into the biochemical aspects of starvation in yeasts and the prokaryotic response to amino acid deprivation in bacteria. The text also addresses global health concerns, including the epidemiology of hunger and the hunger-obesity paradox. Additionally, it covers critical medical topics such as intra-uterine growth retardation caused by maternal under-nutrition and the physiological changes that occur during starvation. This work serves as a valuable resource for those studying biotechnology in agriculture, industry, and medicine.
