Nutritional Biochemistry: From the Classroom to the Research Bench aims  to provide students and readers with adetailed, simplified, and  comprehensive account of the relationship between nutrition and  metabolism.

A key feature of this textbook is a comparative  approach on the subject of nutritional biochemistry which helps to  explain the differences in metabolism,nutrient requirement, and  sometimes in the molecular pathways between mammalian and  non-mammalianspecies.

Chapters give an overview of the need of  food and water (chapter 1), before describing the cell and organ system  components (chapter 2). The textbook then focuses on the regulation of  food intake from the factors influencing appetite to the central and  peripheral underlying mechanisms (chapters 3-5).

Water intake and  regulation in the body are covered (chapter 6), along with key topics  of protein, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism (chapters 7, 8, and 9),  including their digestion, absorption, transport, utilization,  synthesis, degradation, and molecular regulation. A brief summary  concludes the book (Chapter 10).

This book serves as a textbook  for students and faculty in beginner courses in biochemistry and  nutrition and is designed to give learners a comprehensive understanding  of the topic to help them when considering a career in research.
