Thoroughly revised and updated, the Handbook of Vitamins highlights recent research in vitamins and gene expression, including vitamin-dependent genes, and vitamin effect on DNA stability. This edition adds chapters on vitamin-dependent chromatin modification, vitamin metabolism analysis using mass spectrometry, and dietary intakes. Encompassing classical and modern approaches, it focuses on nutrition and looks at vitamin action at the molecular level. With contributions from international experts, this remains an ideal reference for nutritional and food scientists, and graduate students.
