A molecular-level reference on vitamins and nutritional biology

Edited by Vinood B. Patel, this volume approaches vitamins as participants in cellular and genetic processes, not simply as dietary categories. Individual coverage spans vitamins A, C, D, E, K and multiple B vitamins, while broader chapters connect nutrition to signaling, transport, oxidative stress, immunity, cellular differentiation, and apoptosis. The later material extends into transcription, gene expression, mutations, homeostasis-related genes, and cancer. With its substantial scope and emphasis on molecular mechanisms, the book organizes vitamin science within a wider framework of cell biology and nutritional health research.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students and researchers in nutrition, food science, and molecular biology
  • Health and life-science professionals seeking vitamin coverage at the cellular level
  • Readers interested in links between diet, gene expression, and cellular processes

Book overview

Molecular Nutrition: Vitamins presents the nutritional and molecular aspects of vitamins with a specific focus on vitamins A, B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B# (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6, (pyridoxine), B7 (biotin), B9 (folate), B12 (colbamin), C, D, E, and K. As part of the Molecular Nutrition series, this book discusses introductory aspects and general coverage of vitamins and nutrition, the molecular biology of the cell, including signaling, transporters, oxidative stress, receptors, uptake, immunity, proliferation, endoplasmic reticulum, differentiation, carcinogenesis and apoptosis. Final sections cover genetic machinery and its function, transcriptional processes, homeostasis genes, cancer, gene expression, mutations, and more.

Emerging fields of molecular biology and important discoveries related to diet and nutritional health are also covered, rounding out the book.
