As the building blocks for proteins, dietary amino acids are of great importance in the feeding of farm animals produced for human consumption. Considerable research has been undertaken into the amino acid requirements of the various species of farm animals and there is now increased interest in the commercial production of pure amino acids as feed supplements. Written by leading authorities from the USA, UK, Australia and New Zealand, this bo...

Key Questions in Environmental Toxicology is designed as a self-study tool for undergraduate students. Questions review the origin, characterization and environmental distribution of major pollutants, followed by their absorption and metabolic disposition in living organisms. They address implications for the development of cancer, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary dysfunction and neurological conditions in relation to gaseous pollutants, part...

This handbook focuses on human disorders and ecotoxicology, as affected by major toxins originally from biology sources and pollutants, and radiation generated spontaneously or as a result of anthropogenic activity. The book explores the cutting edge of research and also indicates the likely direction of future developments.

Human health issues relating to amino acids are extremely broad and include metabolic disorders of amino acid metabolism as well as their presence in food and use as supplements. This book covers the biochemistry of amino acid metabolism in the context of health and disease. It discusses their use as food supplements, in clinical therapy and nutritional support and focuses on major recent developments, highlighting new areas of research that w...

This book presents specially commissioned reviews of key topics in farm animal metabolism and nutrition, where major advances have recently been made or which continue to represent issues of significance for students and researchers. * Advanced level textbook, no other advanced text in this area with such broad scope * First class contributors, including leading researchers from Europe, North America, South Africa and Australia

Food safety is a concern for scientists, policy-makers and consumers especially as food poisoning outbreaks are becoming more common and as particular concerns arise over genetically modified foods. This book covers recent developments in the chemistry, biochemistry and physiological effects of toxicants that might have an impact on human health and welfare.

Amino acids play a role in the defence mechanisms and stress responses of plants, as well as in food quality and safety for humans and animals. Recent advances in the field make a comprehensive overview of the information a necessity, this book collates chapters on plant enzymes and metabolism, modulation, molecular aspects and secondary products. Also including information on ecology, the environment and mammalian nutrition and toxicology, it...

This book collates and reviews recent advances in the microbial metabolism of amino acids, emphasizing diversity - in terms of the range of organisms under investigation and their natural ecology - and the unique features of amino acid metabolism in bacteria, yeasts, fungi, protozoa and nematodes. As well as studying the individual amino acids, including arginine, sulfur amino acids, branched-chain amino acids and aromatic amino acids, a numbe...

*Fully updated from first edition*Includes a wider range of animals *Covers both farm and companion animalsAmino acid metabolism and nutrition of farm animals continues to be an active area of research. However, since the publication of the first edition, as "Amino Acids in Farm Animal Nutrition" (1994), there is now a need to take into account advances in the amino acid nutrition of a wider range of animals, including companion animals. In th...
