The author re-evaluates data and hypotheses in light of the most recent discoveries in genomics and proteomics research. He covers amino acid uptake routes, physiology, requirements, metabolism, and applications. When the first edition was published, it brought a new perspective to this key area of clinical nutrition research and application.
