The updated bestselling guide to human metabolism and metabolic regulation The revised and comprehensively updated new edition of
(formerly
) offers a current and integrated review of metabolism and metabolic regulation. The authors explain difficult concepts in clear and concise terms in order to provide an accessible and essential guide to the topic. This comprehensive text covers a wide range of topics such as energy balance, body weight regulation, exercise, and how the body copes with extreme situations, and illustrates how metabolic regulation allows the human body to adapt to many different conditions.
This fourth edition has been revised with a new full colour text design and helpful illustrations that illuminate the regulatory mechanisms by which all cells control the metabolic processes necessary for life. The text includes chapter summaries and additional explanatory text that help to clarify the information presented. In addition, the newly revised edition includes more content on metabolic pathways and metabolic diseases. This important resource:
Is a valuable tool for scientists, practitioners and students across a broad range of health sciences including medicine, biochemistry, nutrition, dietetics, sports science and nursing Includes a full colour text filled with illustrations and additional diagrams to aid understanding Offers a companion website with additional learning and teaching resources. Written for students of medicine, biochemistry, nutrition, dietetics, sports science and nursing,
has been revised and updated to provide a comprehensive review of metabolism and metabolic regulation.

We thank Michael Goran, Fredrik Karpe, Denise Robertson and Garry Tan, who have helped us by reading, and commenting on, sections of the book. Any errors remaining are our responsibility. We are enormously grateful to Anne Clark, Mike Symonds and Roy Taylor for providing pictures and data. We give special thanks to Professor Rui Fontes of the University of Porto who translated edition 3 into Portuguese, and in so doing pointed out many errors, most of which had persisted through all the editions. Jenny Seward and James Watson, and their editorial team at Wiley, have been very helpful to us as we prepared this edition. Finally, we thank Theresa and Helen for putting up with us during the hours we spent at the computer producing this new edition.
