Humana Handbook of Essential Fatty Acid Biology - Science Book

Explore the complex world of lipid metabolism and nutritional science with the Handbook of Essential Fatty Acid Biology. Published by Humana, this comprehensive text brings together insights from internationally eminent scientists to explain the most important aspects of essential fatty acids (EFAs). This book covers the full spectrum of EFA science, starting with fundamental biochemistry and moving into the physiological consequences found in both health and illness. Readers can examine the specific role these lipids play in the neuronal membrane and how they impact various disease states. By consolidating current knowledge on biology and metabolism, this resource provides a deep look at how normal EFA levels and deficiencies affect human cognition and behavior. It is an essential reference for those studying biochemistry, neurobiology, and the physiological impact of lipids on the human body.
