Protein Turnover
Protein Turnover
Author: J C WaterlowWritten by the leading authority in the area, this book provides a comprehensive review of the growing body of research on protein turnover in man and animals that has accumulated over the past 20 years. It focuses on protein metabolism at the physiological level, and particularly with studies on human beings. It discusses the methods that have been used for measuring whole body protein turnover in man, the assumptions underlying this work, and problems that have been encountered.
